Horizontal Turret Lathe.

Vigorous competition and continued low
prices have so stimulated the ingenuity of our
manufacturers that the market is constantly
being supplied with tools of a special charac-
ter, designed to facilitate divisions of labor, or
to combine a variety of processes in a single
machine, thereby saving an immense amount
of time otherwise consumed in the frequent
shifting and setting of work, We publish on
this page an illustration of a machine of this
class, built by Edwin Harrington & Son, corner
of North Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, Philadelphia, which is fitted for turn-
ing outa variety of work with great rapidity
and but little manipulation.

The live spindle 1s made of the best ham-
mered steel, and has an inch and three-quarter
hole through the center. It is driven by two
sets of cones, of two changes each—one set
driving forward, the other backward, This is
regulated by a friction clutch situated between
them and moved by a lever, which is seen pro-
jecting from the live head. To tbe front of the
spindle, a face plate, chuck or special appara-
tus may be attached to hold the work. As may
be seeu, the turret head contains nine different
steel spind'es, 2!¢ inches diameter by 20 inches
long, each capable of receiving a tool for per-
forming some particular service. These may
be revolved by hand or power so as to throw
the required spindle in the center line of the
machine. Thisis accomplisbed by a friction
plate, which drives bevel gears contained in
the head, and is i'self driven by a small belt
from the couuter shaft. The friction wheel is
always in motion while the machine is running,
and will rotate the head as soon as the spring
stop is removed by pressing down the treadle
attachmeut or stirrup, which hangs below
the bed in a convenient position, as is
shown in the cut. The feed of the
spindles is obtained in the following man-
ner: There is a wrought iron rack oper-
ated by a small rack pinion, and the three
lever arrangements shown in the plate. This
rack carries a lug at its extremity, and is so
situated as always to engage between corre-
sponding lugs on the spindle, which is in posi-
tion to operate on the work. If it is desired to
use the feed automatically it is merely neces-
sary to turn the small hand wheel at the end of
the rack pinion shaft, which binds the friction

late on the other side of the turret head
against a worm wheel, which is driven by
another worm on the feed shaft, the end of
which may be seen projecting on the left, with
its appropriate feed gear. Nine changes of
feed can be made by shifting the keyed pin and
the gear on the feed shaft, giving a range of
from 38 to 300 cuts tothe iach. By the addi-
tion of a change of pulleys to the counter shaft,
four changes of speed are obtained for the
driving cones upun the livespindle. The front
journal is 34g inches, and the back journal 3
inches in diameter, running in the best compo-
sition boxes. There is also in connection with
this machine a double tool rest, in which cut-
ting off tools, &c., may be placed. It is
operated by a screw, but, if desirable, there is
alever by which the nut may be thrown out,
and the rest rapidly adjusted by hand. It can
be entirely detached if necessary. In addition
to the parts already enumerated there is alsoa
Fox chasing attachment, which, by means of
a swinging head and adjustable hubs, far-
nishes a rapid and ready means of threading.

A great feature of this machine is the stop
on each spindle, oy adjustivog which an accurate
gauge is obtained for ail subsequent articles of
the same kind without going to the time and
trouble of repeated measurements. Thus, if
several holes of different sizas are required, the
drills can be entered cne after the other
almost instantly, and each to precisely the
right depth, and such holes can be tapped,
reamed, &c., as may be required, witb-
out moving the work. The value of this
feature will be immediately recognized in
every kind of piece work calling for constant
repetition of the same tools and measurements.
In many jobs the difference in rapidity of exe-
cution by this machine and by old methods is
as great as 3 to 1, and the makers claim to effect
a saving in time and labor of 75 per cent. By
meavs of a simple device on the face platea
stand or bracket may be drilled, &c., in one di-
rection, the hubs faced off, and the whole be-
ing turned quarter round, a similar operation
may be gone through with at right angles to
the first ard with a single setting. The live
spindle being hollow, is also a valuable charac-
teristic, as bars of almost any length can be
grasped in the chuck and cut off, and the end
turned, drilled or threaded. From a consider-
ation of these various points it is evident that
the range of service of this machine extends
over a wide field, and it will, without doubt,
attract the attention of many of our thinking
manufecturers.

In seven years 94,000,000 notes of the Bank
of England have been paid, and they are con-
tained in 18,000 boxes, which, placed side by
side, would extend a distance of three miles,

These notes are not made of old rags, but of

pure white linen cuttings, and their manufac-
ture for nearly 200 years has been in the hands
of the Portals, of Laverstoke, Hampshire,

The Root Rotary Blower.

The rotary pemp for some reason was a fa-
vorite form with the machiuist of a hundred
years or more ago, just as the rotary steam en-
gine is with inventors at the present day, but
from the inelastic nature of water most of these
pumps have proved anything but successful.
The oldest and one of the best forms of rotary

which was less than 3 inches long by 1 in diam-
eter, which was just about large enough to
supply the air for a large chandelier, aad until
within a year or two there was one in the build
| ing upon the corner of Broadway and Warren
street which must have been from 16 to 20 feet
in digmeter, and was apparently of about the
same length. This enormous machine was
used for exhausting and supplying air to the
short length of tunnel under Broadway, ex-
tending a little morethan one block. These
blowers are applheable for exhausting and
ventilating buildings, or for foundries, black-
smith shops, ventilating mines, etc. Messrs’

mensely complicate the exigencies of an an-
gagement by provoking a number of subsidiary
battles around the main action; beside, the
champions of these small craft seem to forget
the all-important fact that in the next naval en-
gagement the principal antagonists would
themselves use the torpedo. Hence, even with
the adoption of an auxiliary ficet, it is essential
that our ships of war should be fitted with
some defense against this terrible submarine
engine. The torpedo net will necessarily im-
pede the way and obstruct the maneuvering of
an iron-elad, and, such being the ease, the ob-
ject of Capt. Singer has been to ascertain the

resistance to the water, and the most resistance

rately into each other. In the Root blower the
wheels are of a peculiar form, having two
teeth each, which fit inte the hollows between
the teetli of the opposite cylinder. We have
heard the story told that this form was de-
sizned by Mr. Reot fora pump or an engine—
we have now forgotten which—but when the
model was completed it proved so admirably
adapted for the purposes of producing a blast
that the attempt to use it for any other purpose
was witely abandoned, and the present method
of constructing the interior was adopted. The

smaller sizes of these blowers applied to a
blacksmith’s forge, for which purpose it has
many advantages.

Defending Ships Against Torpedoes.

A London newspaper of a recent date says:
Capt. Morgan Singer, of the Vesuvius torpedo
ship, has been carrying out a series of experi-
meuts in the capacious repairing besin at Ports-
mouth, with the object of discovering the best

Various forms of nets, com-
| posed of alternate lines of bars and chains,
have been tried, but the size and power of the
| missile have been so increased of late that it bas
|been found that the torpedo nets of the
| Thunderer uffords little or no protection. Last
week a chain wet formed of chains five-six-
| teenths of an inch thick was easily peforated by
| the Whitehead. The great fault of the nets ts
their extreme rigidity, which upposes a solid
wall to the impact of the torpedo, and the bars
are, consequently, snapped. After many trials,

machine is well adapted to the purpose
required ; with acomparatively slow movement
a blast of air is obtained which is constant in
quantity, and may be at almost any desired
pressure. The very points of design which
make all rotary engines wasteful steam users,
make them economical of power when turned
into air pumps. In many respects the blower
resembles the cylinder blowing engine, es-
pecially in delivering a fixed quantity of air
at each revolution and in the great pressure ob-
tainable. In experimenting with the Root
blower we have been greatly surprised at the
great pressure, as wellas the great power, ob-
tainable with but a small expenditure of force.
The speed required for these blowers is very
small—200 to 400 revolutions per minute are
sufficient. They are made for foucdry pur-
poses, discharging from 3 up to 65 cubic feet
per minute, and for forge work from a size
equal to a 24 inch bellows upward. They can
be made of any desired size, We saw one once

the Whitehead torpedo. Up to the present
time the ingenuity of the naval architect has
been mainly exercised to protect ships against
the entrance of shot and s.ell; and while for
this purpose he has gone on increasing the
thickness of the side armor, the bottom of the
ship, against which the attack of the torpedo
is directed, remains in almost its original weak-
ness. How to protect the hull against both the
gun and the torpedo, and at the same time pre-
serve the seaworthiness of the ship, is ove of
the many problems in naval construction which
have yet to be solved. In the meantime two
methods of protection against torpedoes are
proposed, viz.: the employmert of fast ‘* sate-
lites’ to ward off and attack the torpedo boats
before they can get within range, and the
erection of crinoline frames around the ships
themselves, by means of which the rush of the
projectile would be arrested before striking the
bull. Both devices have their disadvantages.

The general use of patrolling craft would im-

tained from a wire grummet matting, composed
of wire strands about half an inocb tn thickness
rove into open meshes. It possesses consider-
able flexibility, and, as it yields when struck,
| the force of the torpedo is not suddenly, but
gradually, arrested, and as it loses its momen-

tum it is thrown back by the recoil of the mat.
| Durtog the experiments a torpedo thus forced
| back twirled its tail off without inflicting any
injury to the matting. This is the nearest ap-
proach to perfection which has yet been at-
tained.

‘ihe tollowing are the materials and method
said to be employed in enameling ironware
(other then that known as granite and marble
ized) now in use in this country: One
bundred pounds of calcined and ground fhats
and fifty pounds of borax, also calcined and
finely ground, are intimately mixed, fused
and gradually cooled. Of this, forty pounds
are mixed with fiye pounds of potter’s clay

and ground in water toa pasty mass. The ves-
sel, first thoroughly cleansed by means of very
dilute sulphuric acid and scoured with sand, is
lined with a coating of this about one-eighth
| of an inch thick, and left to harden in a warm
room. ‘lo this a new coating is next added, pre-
pared from 125 pounds of white glass, free
from lead ; twenty-five pounds borax; twenty
| pounds soda in erystals, which have been pul-
verized and fused together; these being
| round, cooled in water and dried. To forty-
| five pounds of this, one pound of soda is added,
| the whole mixed in hot water, dried and finely
powdered. A portion of this is sifted over the
other coating while it is still moist, and then
| the vessel is dried in an oven at the tempera-
| ture of boiling water. After this, the vessel is
heated in a stove or muffler till the glaze ap-
pears, when it is taken out and more glaze
powder is dusted on the glazed surface already
in fusion, This enamel, it is stated, resists
perfectly the injurious action of dilute mineral
} and vegetable acids and aikalies, and does not
crack or scale off from the metal. In
Germany and France the following process
is said to have lately come into use, more es-
pecially for enameling copper culinary vessels :
Twelve parts, by weight, of white fluorspar, the
same of gypsum, and one part borax, are finely
powdered, ground together and fused perfectly
in 2 crucible; when cold, this mass is again
carefully ground to powder, made into a uni-
form paste with water, laid upon the
clean metallic surfaces, dried and fused,

—

The New Asiatic Railway.

The formal sanction just given by the Czar
to the construction of the Central Asian Rail-
way undoubtedly means the immediate com-
mencement and vigorous prosecution of that
great work—the full equivalent to our own
Pacific Railway. The Czar would hardly have
stepped beyond the duties devolved upon him
by the exsiting war to authorize so great a proj-
ect unless action was intended ; andthe reasons
which inspire a beginning are potent to require
completion. They are both mulitary and
economical.

The North Amervan has the following inter-
esting details concerning the road and the
country through which it passes: The road
commeuces at Moscow and is fully completed
to Samara on the Volga, through Lower Novo-
gorod, 600 miles. The original plan continued
from Lower Novogorod through Kazan tu
Ekaterineberg, east of the Ural Mountaine,
some 800 miles. The new concession, however,
rupning south-eastwardly from Novogorod
through Samara, reaches Orenburg on the Ural
River, 600 miles, then follows a curve of that
river due east to Orek, which is 150 miles east
from Orenburg, 300 south from Ekaterineburg,
and 600 from the Caspian by the windings of
the Ural. This is the termination of the Euro
pean and the beginning of the Central Asiatic
road, of which so much has been said for along
time. From Orsk the road continues south-
eastward to Tashkent in Khokan, about 800
miles—throu;h swamps and deserts, over
mountains and rivers, which require enormous
bridging, tunneliug, pilimg and excavating,
and thence eventually into Cashgar, where an
intersection is made with the contemplated
road from Ormus, in the Gulf of Persia, which,
crossing Afghanistan into Cushiyar, is aimed
toward Pekin. The route now sanctioned
siwply runs a little north of that orginally de-
vised in Eastern Europe, and east of that for-
merly outlined in Western Asia.

It is probable that this undertakivg is mainly
military. The earliest route left Ekaterineberg
for Umsk, Tomek and Irkoutsk on Lake Baikal ;
then using an opening in the Great Altai chain,
reached and followed the Amoor to ite mouth,
with a branch from tise lake southeast to Pekin.
This traversed nothivg but Rassian territory,
and its political, military, commercial and gen-
eral uses are patent. The authorized plan
secures Turkestan and strengthens Russian
conquests there, but gains no outlet on and
makes no approach toward the Pacific. It may
be that the original and greater enterprise is left
for a pacific day, and that the last is driven
forward as it is for immediate military advan-
tages. Labor can of cource be obtained from
China if the means for payment are provided.
Considering the terribie costs and uncertain
duration of the Turkish war, and the condition
of Russian finances, the new scheme is very
wonderful. It lies outsidé of British territory,
but so challenges the trade of lodia with
Western China that India will doubtless see
fresh reasons why the Empress should take
part in the war or subsidize new railways.

Protochloride of sulphur will convert an
ordinary drying oi) into an elastic solid. A
volatile liquid added to the oil at the same
time asthe protochloride, will be inclosed in
the resulting solid, from which it ean escape
only very slowly. Mr. Mercier has covfined in
this way as much as 70 per cent. of bisulphice
of esrbon, and Le proposes to employ this in-
genious device in checking the ravages of the

Hydraulic Machinery.

At arecent meeting of the British Institution
of Civil Eogineere, Sir W. G. Armstrong read
an interesting paper on ‘‘ The History of Mod-
ern Development of Water Pressure Machin-
ery,’’ of which we have the following abstract :
The author's attention was first called to the
subject of water pressure asa motive power,
by noticing the waste of power exhibited by
mountain rills in the Craven district of York-
shire. He was thus led to devise a water-pres-
sure engine, which combined the use of pistons
with the continuous rotation of a water wheel.
A large working model of this wheel was tried
in 1839, by connecting it with the street water
pipes in Newcastle, when it gave a high coefli-
cient of effect. About the same time he
pointed out that a stream of rapid descent
might generally be conveyed in a nearly level
cut along one of its banks until it attained a
great elevation above the valley, and untila
point was reached where the fall could be ren
dered available by a pipe of moderate length.
Also that there were many precipitous streams
which were capable of furnishing a surprising
amount of power, especially if combined with
flood-water reservoirs to equalize the supply.
He likewise argued that the water supplied to
towns for domestic purposes could in many
cases be advantageously employed for working
ail kinds of machines. He showed that it
would be more economical to use waier for
the cranage of a given weight of merchandise
than hand labor, and that it would result in
greater expedition. The principle, too, was
enunciated that, when the water was lifted by
a pumping engine it became the recipient of
the power exerted in raising it, and that if the
same water were used as motive power in de
scending toits original level, it would render
back the power conferred upon it by
the engine; so that the power of the
pumping engine might be transmitted to
a distance and _ distributed in large or
small quantities as required. A crane was then
designed, in which the liftioag was performed
by asingle stoke of a piston, multiplied by
folding the chain over sheaves in the inverted
order of pulley tackle, the slewing motion of
the jib being effected by a separate cylinder,
the piston of which was attached to a rack
working into a circle of teeth at the base of the
crane. By asuitable valve the water was ad-
mitted into the lifting cylinder, when the
weight on the chaiv was to be raised, and suf-
fered to escape when the weight was to be
lowered. To avoid dangerous jerks by the
sudden closing of the outlet when the weight
was being rapidly lowered, a small clack valve
was applied, opening upward against the pres-
sure in the supply pipe, 80 as to permit the
pent-up water in the cylinder to be pressed back
in the supply pipe, whenever the compression
in the cylinder exceeded the pressure of the
water in the pipe. The slewing cylinder was
also fitted with an appropriate valve for admit-
ting the water to either side of the piston,
while it allowed an escape from the opposite
side. Relief valves were likewise applied at
each end of the slewing cylinder, to save the
machinery from being broken or strained by
the momentum of the jib when the regulating
valve was suddenly closed, In 1846 a crane on
this principle was erected at Newcastle, and
speedily attracted the attention of engineers.
Tue late Mr. Jesse Hartley was induced to order
cranes and hoists fora pcrtion of the Albert
Dock, Liverpool), to be worked by the pressure
from the town water pipes. These machines,
when first erected, answered perfectly; but
the pressure of water soon became so va-
riable that the extension of the system
was considerably checked, totil the alternative
method of employing a steam engine to gen-
erate the pressure, was introduced. Hydraulic
cranes for railway stations were first adopted in
1848 by Mr. Harrison, past-president Instit. C.
E. Up to 1849, all the cranes and hoists which
bad been erected derived their power from
town reservoirs; but about that time the au-
thor substituted an air vessel for an elevated
tank. In 1849, the late Mr. Rende! consulted
the author as to employing hydraulic pressure
at the Grimsby Docks, oot only for working
cranes, but also for opening and closing the
dock gates and sluices. To obtain the neces
sary pressure a tower 200 ft. in hight was
erected, to carry a reservoir into which water
was pumped by a steam engine. The machin-
ery came into operation in 1851, In 1850, Mr.
Fowler, past-president Instit. C, E,, deciaed to
apply hydraulic pressure for the cranes in the
goods sheds of the New Holland Ferry Station,
and also for raising and lowering two platforms
to communicate between the ra:iway and a
floating landing stage on the river. As local
conditions prevented the erection of a water
tower, the author was led to the idea of the
present accumulator. Until 1849, the author
bad met with no opportunity of realizing his
original idea of util.zing mountain rills; but
be was then consulted by Mr. Sopwith, M. Inst.
C. E., as to substituting water pressure engines
for overshot water wheels at Allenheads. The
water was collected in reservoirs ut elevations
of 200 ft., and all the purposes to he served re-
quired rotative motion. Reciprocating engines
were, for various reason, adepted. Each en-
gine had two cylinders placed at an angle of
90° to each other, and working upon the same
crank pin. Balanced cylindrical valves were
used, and the passages were large, to keep
down the velocity of the water. Relief valves
were applied to prevent shock at the end of
the stroke. An extension of hydraulic ma-
ebinery, involving the use of accumu-
lators, was made later in the vicinity of
Allenbeads, In 1851 the late Mr. Brunel pro-
posed the application of hydraulic pressure to
turotables, traversers and hauling capstans,
and an extensive plant of such machinery was
erected ut the Paddington Station of the Great
Western Railway. By the end of 1851 the prin-

ciple of transmitting and distributing tue
power of a steam engine through the medium
of water stored in an accumulator had become
thoroughly established. The original idea of
utilizing mountain torrents, which was the pro-
genitor of the accumulator system, had only
been partially realized; but, althouch the cas-
cades and rapids in many unfrequented dis-
tricts were still generally neglected as sources
of motive-power, and might continue to be so
while coal was plentiful ang mountain valleys
remained difficult of access ; yet it could hardly
be doubted that the descent of water from
elevated land was destined at some future day
to become an important source of
power.

motive-
The transmission of the power might
be facilitated by employing the prime moving
column to pump water into accuiaulators, and
by conveying the highly pressed waters in a
comparatively small pipe to situations where its
value would be appreciated. The engine required
would be a mere intensifier of pressure, and
would be of the simplest description, consist-
ing mainly of a press ram and a pump ram, in
direct connection with each other, and baving
their areas proportioned to the acting pressure
on the one side, and the resisting pressure on
the other. Even falls of small hight, suffi-
cient only for water wheels and turbines, cculd
be employed for giving a high pre-sure to
Water for the purpose of transmission, and this
had actually been done near Allenbeads; and it
had lately been propoeed to utilize in a simi-
lar manner the first cataracts of the Nile. The
author tten proceeded to describe the various
forms of water pressure machines which bad
come into use under the heads of hydraulic en-
gines, bydraulic cranes, movable cranes, movy-
able jiggers, hydraulic hoists, coal discharging
apparatus, coal loading machinery, hydraulic
machines for docking ships, sluice machines,
swing bridge machivery, draw bridge machinery,
hydraulic applications to gunnery and corn
warehousing machinery. He explained the
mod fications and improvements which had
been progressively made, and showed the state
of development at which water pressure ma-
ebinery had arrived.

A New Torpedo.

The latest in the way of torpedoes is thus
described by the Boston Commercia! Bulletin :

A man holding a large cylindrical machioe
between his knees excited considerable atten-
tion in a “‘depot” car the other day. An old
gentleman who had teen talkiog about the
war, cast his eyes on it and said:

Let ’em go ahead with their iron-clads ;
some Yankee’|l invent a torpedo that'll fix ’em.
You'll see.”

Instantly the man with the cylinder became
the center of attraction.

** Ain’t loaded, 183 she ?”’ said a lank country-
man, giving it a rap with his knuckles that
would have exploded a twenty-four pounder,
and causing a uervyous man to hastily scek the
rear platiorm.

‘*An invention of yours, my friend ?”’ said a
baldheaded man with spectacles, on the oppo-
site seat, bending over curiously, in which he
was joined by his neighbors.

‘*Waal, not egzackly!’’ said the man with
the cylinder, tugging at the top of it until the
curissity of the whole car was aroused. ‘I’m
an ayent for it,” he continued, pulling off the
cover. “It’s Jenkins’ patent back-action
fam’ly bD’iler. Kin put your week’s wash in the
bottom, and bile yer dinner in the top; will fit
enny cook stove ; price only dollar narf; take
a cirkelar, it’s the only reliable—”’

Putting the man off the car was certainly
justifiable, but jammiog the tin kitchen over
on to bis shoulders, and booting him from the
front platform seemed unnecessarily severe.

Ancient Ironwork.—At a banquet of the
Ironmongers’ Company, recently held, Dr.
Schliemann, in acknowledging the toast of
“The Visitors,’’ was polite enough to imply
that there could have been no civilization with-
out ironmongery. After picturing the desolate
condition of the ancients, he brought his
speech to a climax by declaring that iron was
unknown at the time of Agamemnon, for (the
reasoning is not quite conclusive) “* l found no
trace of it either at Mycene or Troy. Even in
the time of Homer it was a very rare and costly
commudity, and was prized more highly than
gold. I fiud great difficulty in believing that
in the time of the divine poet the inbabitants
of Greece and Asia Minor knew the process of
extracting the iron from the ore, because this
process must have been an exceediogly difficult
one to primitive man. I believe rather that at
that time meteoric fron only was in use, and
this seems to be proved also by the Greek word
for iron, sideros, which is evidently derived
trom an ancient word tor star.”’

At the Russian-American In ifa-rubber Fac-
tory, in St. Petersburg, Russia, a specialiy is
made of the manufacture of air bagsfor raising
suuken vessels. These bags are generaliy of a
cylindrical form with rounded extremitirs, about
eighteen feet in length, el- ver fect in diameter,
with a capacity of some 600 cubie feet, and each
bag cav, it is calculated, raise a weight of sixty
tons, although they ar@ only guaranteed to lil
fifty. The bags are mate of three thicknesse
of coarse canvas,thorournly impregnated ani
saturated with India-rubber, and baving siso
layers of the latter material interposed. The
valves, etc., are of copper, and the bug is pro-
tected bya coarse net, iis weight when fully
furnished being very nearly 1000 pounds.
Without valves, cordage, chainsfor attachwg
it to the object to be rai-ed, sucha bag costs
about $17 0, but when provided witb all
these apptiances its price is rased to $2720.
Last year Various eXpx rimeuts were madc at
Portemouib, Eagland, with these air bags,
which were pre-euted » the Eng.ish A miraliy
by the Russiau goveromen', and the Oberon
was, after ove or two attempts, successiuily
floated by means of them,

We take froin the records of the Patent Office

found interesting :

IMPROVEMENT IN TEMPERING AND

ARTICLES OF STEEL.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent

No. 188,198, dated March 6, 1877, issued to

FORMING

George F. Simonds, of Fitchburg, Mass.
The drawing is a lungitudinal section of a tem- |
pering oven with improvements attached. |
The invention relates to the hardening, tem- |
pering and bringing to their ultimate forms
articles of steel or of iron and steel combined,
and is av improvement on Patents No, 151,167, |
dated May 19, 1874, and No. 169,736, dated No- |
vember 9, 1875; and it consists iu the process

of adjusting the ‘‘ fast’ and ‘‘ loose”’ in a saw,

and iu several combinations of devices, herein- |
after explained and claimed, whereby saws |
may be tempered and straightened without the
usual process of hammering.
In the drawing A represents the walls of an
oven, B the roof, C the fire box, and D the

tempering and forming chamber. Above the

fire box is placed the heat distributor a, shaped
in cross section as shown, to equally dis- |
tribute the heat in its passage to the temper-
ing and forming chamber. The flat fire-proof
tile heretofore used for this purpose, if not set
with great precision horizontally, was liable to
distribute the heat uncqually to the eides of

stood by those skilled in the art, and result
from an irregular tempering of the saw, the
more highly tempered parts being termed the
** fast,’’ and those of lower temper the “ loose.”
It is evident that by the heating of the saw
during its operation the expansion of the steel
will be influenced by the fast and loose, and |
hence it becomes a matter of the greatest im-
portance to be able to adjust this fast and
loose in the saw in order to adapt it to its par-
ticular work, as before stated.

When the saw or article to be tempered and
brought to its ultimate form has been properly
hardened, and is piaced between the formers c
¢c, the door is closed, and the article is secured
in position by the gradual movement of the
serews f f until the pressure is sufficient to
bring the piece to the desired form, where it is
held subjected to the perfectly uniform and
desired amount of beat until the article takes |
a permanent set to the required form, when it
can be moved to make place for another.

The formers ¢ ¢c are of a novel construction,
of being a
smooth, flat surface, is grooved in such a man-
ner as to divide it up into numerous small sur-
faces, resemb:ing somewhat the face ofa waffle
iron. Behind this face is‘a series of radial ribs,
k, to strengthen and support the same, and the
formers are perforated thickly with small holes,
while their flanges are slotted at 4, to admit
free passage for the heat to all parts of the
formers, and secure a more uniform temper

taken from the under side of one of the sec-

The bottom of a Bessemer converter is made

A represents one of such sections, made of fire
clay or other suitable material, and provided
with a number of vertical perforations, a a, ex-
tending entirely through the same for the pas-
sage of the air blast

Each section A is formed with a concavity 5,
80 that when the sections are united a circular
eye or hole will be formed in the center for the
insertion of a tuyere.

the forming chamber, and thus defeat the ob-
ject sought to be accomplished by an even dis-
tribution of heat. To overcome this difficulty
the distributor a, is formed as shown in cross
section in the drawirg, the lower point
being placed longitudinally exactly over
the center of the fire box C. This peculiar form
of distributor is a great improvement. The
distributer a is constructed of equal width
on its upper flat surface with the forming
chamber D, and having on each side a flue a,
opening directly under the flue a’ a’, extending
along the outer side, and to the top of the
forming chamber D, to allow the free passage
of the heat around all parts of the chamber,
the said flues being severally regulated by the
dampers 22. The tempering oven is made ac-
cording to patent No. 169,736, or in any other
desirable way. The formers are suspended in
the chamber, as shown, by means of re-
volving shafts 5b, provided with necessary
bearings in the framework E £. The outer

ends of these shafts are provided with
screws f f, by which they can _ be
moved longitudinally, and the formers

can be closed or opened within the tem-
periog chamber. By means of the wheel
F the shaft b may be easily revolved, and when
the formers are brought in contact or closed on
an article to be tempered, it is evident that the
shaft d' will also be caused to revolve with the
shaft b, and the two formers may be revolved
within the chamber D. This revolution of the
formers may become desirable in order to se-
cure more certainly a uniform temperature.
The great purpose of this construction is to
place the article to be tempered and formed en-
tirely out of the reach of zny draught, as stated
in patent No. 169,736, and thus eecure an even-
ness of heat essential to success. The heat in
the surrounding chambers H may be readily
regulated or directed from one portion of the
chamber D to another by means of the dampers
22 and flues a a’.

By means of the flues and dampers placed so
as to completely contro] the heat in its pas-
sages to and around the tempering oven, the
heat is thrown into the center of the oven, or
onto the outer edge, or on any desired part of
the saw, and the exact tempering of its differ-
ent portions is thus adjusted at pleasure, which
process of adjusting the fast and loose is an
essential part of the present invention. If an
uneven strain is desired between the center and
periphery—that is, if for any otber reason it is
desirable to have the saw loose in center or
loose between center and periphery, it may be
accomplished, and yet leave the saw on apy
given circle uniform in its tension, which can-
not be the result of a saw hammered,

The terms “‘fast’’ and “jooge,"’ as applied

pal pointe North, West and Routh,

| In further aid of securing a perfectly uni-

form temperature in the tempering and form-
| ing oven, the use of a blower is combined
with it at the junction of two air pas-
sages. These passages lead into the oven, and
| by means of the blower a current may be pro-
| duced through the passages, which will tend
to secure a uniform temperature inside the
oven D. It is evident that the blower can be
| Placed in a variety of positions to effect the
| Same result.
| Claim.— 1. The process herein described of
adjusting the fast and loose in a saw by throw-
ing the heat on the center or outer edge, or on
any desired part of the saw, the same being
| held to the required position substantially as
| set forth.

We have heard in this country a good deal
about “‘ stealing a railroad,” but it remains for
the Russians to steal a train, and leave the rail-
roadalone. According to a correspondent of
one of the German papers, an express train, in
Russia, carrying 6,009,000 of roubles, not only
failed the other day to reach its destination,
but has altogether disappeared, without leaving
the slightest traces affording a clew as to what
became of it. That the train should be stopped
and the money taken 1s conceivable, but that
the thieves should actually carry off not only
roubles, but engine, tender, vans, carriages aud
ullis so “uncanny” an incident as to raie
ground for suspicion that the powers of dark-
At any rate the story
18 a most uncomfortable one, and it is to be
hoped a new horror is not to be edded to rail-
way traveling by the total disappearance of
trains. It may be imagined how painful a
sensation would be created if the “ Flying
Datchman,’’ or some other fast avd famous
train, were never seen or heard of after leaving

London. Such a catastrophe would be, if pos-
sible, even worse than a collision.

Among the enlargements of PhiladelpLia’s
foreign trade just annouuced, is the sailivg from

the Delaware River for Rio Janeiro of the bark
Matthew Baird, loaded at Wilmington with
cars for a railroad in Brazil, which were mapu-
factured at the Harlan & Hollingsworth Com
pany’s Werks, at that city. Sheis a vessel
of about 600 tons capacity, but was unable
to carry tue whole of the consignment, and
another vessel will also be loaded with them.
It is not very long ago that Brazil got almost
all of her railway supplies in England. Then
she began buying lecomotives in this country,
and recently a Pennsylvania firm carried off the
successful bid for railway iron for a Brazilian

railway, Now she is buying our cars. It is quite
probable that Bragil will thus be soon running

Handling Grain by Machinery.

An imimenee fire-proof elevator is to be con-
structed at the terminus of the Erie Railroad
in New Jersey, on the pier formerly octupied
by the White Star Steamship Company, the
use of the property having been granted by the
railroad company for this purpose. The enter-
prise is entirely in the hands of a few of the
large grain firms of this city. The plans have
been approved, and work will berin very soon.

Geo. H. Johnson, inventor and constructor of
fire-proof grain elevators, prepared the plans.
The building will cost about $600,000 and have
of 1,500,000 bushels. The
dock accommodations will be so extensive that

a storage capacity

four of the largest steamships or sailing vessels
ear receive grain at the elevator at the same
time, room for six
boats to receive or deliver cargoes, It

leaving ample also caval
is pro-
posed that the building shall be absolutely fire-
proof, The facilities for handling grain, it is
will exceed those of any elevator in
the world, and it is asserted thet it will be pos
sible to handle all coming to New

more

claimed,

York, pro
viding it does not amount to than 100,
000,000 bushels a year.

It is the intention of the company to form
two basins, one 1500 feet long and 170 in width,
and the other 1200 feet long by 140 in width.
The elevator will stand on the pier between the
basins. This will make necessary the removal
of the old piers there, and the entire area will
be dredged to a depth sufficient for the largest
steamship or sailing vessel. The main struc-
ture will be 282 fectin length and 110 feet in
width, exclusive of
boiler house, conveying gallery and canal boat
tower; these, together, will give an additional
length of 350 feet by 30 feet in width. There
will be 159 storage bins, varyiug in capacity
from 2500 to 12,000 bushels. The walls of the
built of brick, with two
rows of stretches placed two inebes apart, giv-
ing space for ventilation. The hollow walls
form flues or air shafts, and all the moisture in
the grain will be absorbed by the porous brick
and carried off through the air flues. By this
method each bin is separated from its neighbor,
precluding the possibility of heated
grain damaging sound grain.

The building is arranged tc have three tracks
running through the center, so that 26 cars can
discharge their contents at the foot of “ loft-
ing ’’ elevators at the same time, and by means
of steam shovels 104 cars can be discharged
every hour—the grain takeu into receiving
tanks, weighed, elevated and ‘‘ spouted” into
the different bins. This would amount to 400,-
000 bushels during a dey of ten hours. During
the same time, and without interfering with the
operation of receiving by cars, such is the pro-
posed arrangement of machinery that 60,000
bushels an hour can be weighed and discharged
from the bins and ‘‘ spouted” into ships and
lighters, Grain, during the same time, can be
received from two caval boats at the rate of
10,000 bushels an bour. When the shipping
eleyators are not in use for that purpose, by
the assistance of the horizontal conveyors they
can transfer grain from one bin to another
without reference to position, at the rate of
60,000 bushels an hour. This is effected by
means of a sysem of rotary “spouting,” the
same which, in the receipt of grain, enables it
to be distributed among any of the many bins.

Renovating and drying bins are included in
this proposed elevator system. Wet, heated
or sour grain can be received from cars or yes-
sels and elevated through the same apparatus
as the sound grain, and then “‘ spouted ”’ into
the drying and cooling bins.

The proposed elevator will have many advan-
tages over that recently completed for the Hud-
son River Railroad Company above Sixty-first
street, and will cost only little more. The lat-
ter is of the same storage capacity, but lacks
the facilities in landing grain which the other
will have, and is so constructed that only one
vessel can receive her cargo atatime. In ad-
dition there are the drawbacks of an exposed
position and a structure of wood. The site of
the new elevator at the terminus of the Erie
Railway will give it many advantages.—N. Y.

Iron Works in New South Wales.

Mr. Enoch Hughes, manager of the Esk Bank
Ironworks, near Bowenfells, New South Wales,
has written a long letter to the Wolverhampton
Chronicle, from which we extract the following:

Some two years ago I wrote you respecting
the discovery of coals ard iron ore et Esk Bunk,
New South Wales, and the possibility of mak-
ing iron equal in quality and price to compete
with that imported. Since I wrote you I am
pleased to say that, with the assistance of a few
friends, [ have succeeded in erecting an iron
works, consisting of one Llast furnace, capable
of producing 120 tons of pig iron weekly. The
foundation stone was laid on the Ist day of
February, 1875, and the furnace was blown in
on the Ist day of December, in the same year.
After working for eight weeks, und producing
some 500 tons pig iron of excellent quality, and
finding there was not sufficient market for the
pig, wecommenced the erection of rol'ing mills,
with which we are now busy, and which will be
completed, ready for work, about the Ist of
June next. As a guarantee of the quality of
our pig iron, we have erected a new foundry,
and are making the whole of our castings, bc-th
for furnaces and rolling mills. We have al-
ready six puddling furnaces ready for work,
and one scrap furnace, two mill furnaces and
Nasmyth’s hammer, one 18 incb train of rol!s,
with shears complete. The works are situated
95 miles from Sydney, on the Great Western
Railway, which runs through the property.
The estate consists of 700 acres, upon which is
a 10 foot seam of coal cropping out on the sur-
face ; fire-clay and iron ore (argillaceous and
hematite) is also obtained on the same land, and

; are constructed with a depth of 14 feet.

limestone in abundance 12 miles from the works
by rail. There is only one drawback at the pres-
ent time, and that is the want of more skilled

labor, which will, no doubt, soon find its way

here when the wages paid become known
among the iron workers of Staffordshire and
other manufacturing districts. We are now

paying 18/ per ton for puddling, and for other
parts of the work in proportion, or double
what fs now paid in any part of England for
the same work. Perbaps some of your readers
may say that [ have only shown one side of the
question, I will now give them the other, that
ie, the cost of living and the climate: Ist:
Bread is 4d, the 2 Ib. loaf; beef, 2d. to 4d. pet

The Welland Canal.

This work is progressing satisfactorily, al-

though not as rapid)y us was at first hoped,
owing to certain obstructions that were not

foreseen, The work pow in progress will, when
completed, result in the establishment of a
navigable canal with locks 270 feet long and 45
feet wide, with 14 feet depth on the sills, the
canal proper having a width of 100 feet at the

bottom, with a depth of 15 feet. For the
present the depth of the new canal between
the locks is thirteen feet. The Jocks, which

can hereafter be raised with modcrate expense,
are at present constructed with 12 feet on the
sill. In regard to the details of this work the
Chicago Railway Aeview says that the entrance
and other Jocks not coming within this category
The
new canal leaves the present line and contivu-
ues from May’s Ravine on a separate location
884 wiles, and is one-third of a mile shorter than
the present canal.

Work is vigorously pushed forward on all
the sections. Section No 36 embraces the en-
largement and deepening of Port Colborne
harbor or Lake Erie entrance to the vcanal, in-
cluding the extension of the west pier about
400 feet further into the lake ; deepening the
entrance channel from the lake inward ; rebuild-
ing the superstructure of part of the west pier,
and the whole of that on the east side; con-
structing a beacon on the southeast side of the
entrance, and building four detached blocks of
pier work between tt and the outer end of the
present east pfer; renewing and rebuilding
about 700 feet of the west docking; deepening
and enlarging the basir, etc.

The channel from the lake northward to
about the southern line of the contemplated en-
largement of the basin is to be sunk to a depth
of 17 feet below low water line, and from the
latter place to the north end of the basin the
depth will gradually diminish to 16 feet ata
time when the water stands at 12 feet over the
miter-sil] of the present lock. In excavating
through the rock, the mode adopted has been
to drill and blast from the deck of a vesse!, held
in place by anchor timber resting on the bot-
tom, and subsequently removing the loosened
material by an ordinary scoop dredging ma-
chine. This system has been so far quite suc-
cessful, owing in a great measure to the use of
pitro-glycerine a8 an explosive and the skillful
arrangements made in conducting operations
in all their stages. Still, with all the care and
precautions adopted in sto1ing and handling
the nitro-glycerine, an explosion occurred on
the 30th of October last, by which one man
was killed and considerable damage done to
property in the village of Port Colborne. Fully
one-third of the rock has been removed and a
considerable extent of ordinary dredging done.
The time for completivg the work was to have
beep the spring of 187/; but it is now under-
stood that it will not be ready before the open-
ing of navigation in 1880. In conclusion, the
Review says : ‘‘ When the improvement is com-
pleted vessels of the largest class can be locked
down from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, and
vice versa, and, with the enlargement of the St.
Lawrence canals ships of over 2500 tons burden
ean clear from Chicago for any part of the
world, and return with cargoes shipped on
through bills of lading, thus making this city
the grand port of eutry for an immense ficet of
vessels and a direct trade, the magnitude of
which cannot be estimated nor approximated
at the present time.”

However much this may be desired, it is nol
likely to take place to apy considerable extent,
because of the different requirements of lake
and ocean vavigation. The models and rig
which are altogether best for salt water are not
as well adapted for fresh water vavigation ;
hence the lake tonnage will not probably make
foreign voyages, although it may be pretty ex-
tensively employed along the Atlantic coast.

An eminent scientist of whose
pame is withheld fo:
upon the point of publishing a series of {mpor-
tant disceveries, instrument
by meaus of which objects or

and exhibiting an
invented by him,

persons standing or moving in any part of the
world may be instantaneously seen anywhere

and by anybody. The utility of the electrose pe
is undeniable, and if the invention proves suc-
cessful it will supersede ina very short time
the ordinary methods of telegraphic and te'e-
phonie communieation. By means of the clee-
troscope merchants will be uble to exhibit their
goods, or samples of them, to any customer
supplied with the same instrument, whether in
Liverpool, London, Paris, Berlin, Caleutta,
Pekin, San Francisco, or New Orleans. Fugi-
tive criminals placed in the electroscope can be
instantly identified by the police authorties in
any part of the globe. Mothers, husbands and
lovers will be enabled at any time to glance at
the very persons of their children, wives, or be-
loved ones. Painters may retain their paint-
ings in their studio, and yet exhibit them si-
multaneously in all the gallerics of Europe and
America provided with the invention. Scholars
are thus enabled to consult in their own rooms
anyrareavd valuable work or maouscript in
the British Muscum, Louvre or Vatican, by
simply requesting the librarians to place the
opened at the right page, into this
marvelous instrument. The electroscope will
undoubtedly supersede the ordinary method
uf telegraphy, as it matters very little how long
or how short may be the message travemitted
by it, not to speak of the advantage of being
able to read, when desired, the original dis-
patch in the handwriting of the sender.

And further, in case the telephone, the new
instrument for carrying musical sounds, should
succeed also in transmitting ordioary conversa-
tions, a combination of the electroscope and
telephone will be made which will permit peo-
ple not only to actually converse with each
other, no matter how far they are apart, but
also to look into each other’s eyes, and watch
gesture and motion
while in the electroscope. Bvth telephcne and
electroscope, applied ona large scale, would
render it possible to represent at one time, ou a
hundred stages in different parts of the world,
the opera or play sung or acted in any given
theater. The actors and singers will present,
of course, a certain ethereal appearance when
thus viewed from a great distance, which, how-
ever, will not always prove uvpleasant to the
audience.

The invention is based, as far as known, on
the priuciple cf transmitting the waves of light
given out by objects, iu a manner similar to
the trapsmission of sound waves by the tele-
phone. Everybody knows that the sensations
of color which we perceive are due to the vary-
ing strength and rapidity of the undulations of
light emanating from the objects we look
upon. Now, the electroscope consists, to all
outward appearance, oftwo empty boxes or
rooms, according to the size require1, One of
the compartments is the transmitter, the other
In both compartments one side

or wall presents the ends of a multitude of
quasi-eleetric wires of a peculiar make and con-
sistency. Each of these innumerable wires
transmits with the utmost accuracy the faintest
and strongest undulations of every delicate
wave of color that strikes it honzoptally from
some object or person opposite toit, Thus
many thousand wires of the thickness of a line
carry conjointly the undulations of color eman
ating from a painting less thauv a foot square.
The wires outside the instrument are twisted
into a cable, which may be extended to its
destination above or below ground, or through
the water. On entering the receiver the cable
is untwisted, and eaci tiny wire is made to
again occupy its proper position in the side or
wall of the compartment. The box or room
acting as a receiver differs from the transmitter
in being constantly kept filled with a newly
discovered gas, a sort of magnetic electric
ether, in which currents of light er color be-
come resplendent again, and by means of
which the objects or persons present at the
transmitter are reflected a3 accurately as is a

Stove for Burning Oil.

Much attention is now being paid by both
manufucturers and dealers, to the subject of
oil stoves for cooking and heating. The stove
of which we present external and sectional
views, presents some features of novelty worth
examination.

A writer upon the subject of ofl stoves re-
cently made the following remarks, which show
how difficult a task it is to make a good stove
of this kind: ‘One of the chief difficulties in
the way of constructing a practical oil-burning
stove is to secure complete combustion ; the
same difficulty, in other words, that the lamp
makers meet, and one which they do not al
ways succeed in remedying, as witness the
more or less perceptibly disagreeable smell that
often pervades a room in which a lamp bas
been burning. The stove maker has more lati-
tude, however, than the lamp maker; for while
the former may with advantage sacrifice the
light-giving qualities of his oil, by so regulat-
ing and directing his air supply that combus-
tion shall be complete, his heat greater, and
his combustion products inoffensive, the lamp
maker has quite another problem to meet. He
must so devise the parts of his lamp as to se-
cure the minimum of heat with the maximum
of light.”’

The Whitney & Hall Manufacturing Com
pany, 1123 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, the
manufacturers of the stove we illustrate, have
endeavored to produce a stove which shall
meet the necessary requirements.

Externally the stove does not present any
striking points of difference from many others.
The peculiarities are, however, seen in the sec-
tional drawing.

The base consists of a cast iron oil reservoir,
A, entirely closed to the air, high at the sides,
and so shaped as to provide about the wick-
tubes, X,atank, T, which can be provided
with waterif thought desirable. W shows the

ing combustion products may be quite free
from offensive smell, “¥

The manufacturers claim a veryPreat,advan-
tage in heating the air upon its, passage to
the burner. In respect to this, theyssag: In

its application to this stove, the heat which is
taken up by the air before it is permitted to
reach the flame would otherwise be not only
wasted, but would also prove very disa ivar.
tageous in Overheating the oil reservoir, and

edjacent parts of the stove body, without pro-
ducing any useful effect. By making it sup
ply itself with this heat before reaching th
flame, it very materially increases the intensity
of combustion over avy other method that
could be devised. By the adéitionof a radi
ating top, the stove can be used for heating
purposes,

The Iron Colliers and Freight Boats.

The Philadelphia North American recently

had a long article discussing Mr. Gowen’s re
port of the year’s work of the Philadelphia
and Reading colliers, with sore observations
upon the value of such boats in general freight-
ling. The net earnings of these vessels for 1876

wick chamber, which, in virtue of being de- |

were $197,026, being seven and eighty-eight
hundredths per cent. on the capital, said capi-
tal being $2,550,000. These steamers are built
of iron, and were all constructed at the Dela-
ware shipyards, The net earnings are over
aod above all expenses, including the amount
charged to the insurance fund, so that if we
suppose seven percent, to be an average prod-
uct of these steamers in all years, it would be
safe to invest capital very largcly in the con-
struction of such vessels for use by a well-
managed corporation. They are essentially
freight steamers, having no provisions for pas-
sengers, and thus avoiding all the expensive
work required for cabin passengers, and leaving
their whole space devoted to freight and fuel.

The North American says : These collicrs of
the Reading Railroad Company always find

pressed slightly below the bottom of the reser-
voir, is kept supplied with oll. I[t is further-
more sepatated from the reservoir by a parti-
tion extending from the top down into a recess
in the bottom of the reservoir. The reservoir
is hermetically sealed against the entrance of
air, and all danger of the formatiou of explo-
sive mixtures is provided against.

The wick tubes are long and narrow, and
proviied with a wick of felting. Above the
reservoir, and resting upon a perforated ring
of sheet metal, R, is u piece, K, provided with
suitable longitudinal openings to correspond
to the wick. They act as deflectors to throw
the air in contact with the flame. In addition
there will be seen depending from the plate K
the vertical partition E. The object of this is
to foree the air which enters through the per-
forated ring to pass over the surface of the
reservoir, then impinge upon the partition, and

then to pass under it into the hot chamber be-
low the burners, abstracting heat from the me
tallic parts which it passes, and becoming con-
siderably heated before it comes in contact
with the oil. Thus a twofold advantage is ob-
tained : the oil chamber is kept from attaining
a dangerously high temperature, and the air
draught supplied to the combustion chamber
has its efficiency improved by being heated.

The stove furnishes a very large amount of
heated air, and this permits the use of the ex-
tension shown in our first illustration, where
two operations are going on at the same time.

Above the burner opening, F, is a second
conical deflector, H, which performs an im-
portant function. By this device the complete
combustion of the residual unconsumed oil
vapors that escape combustion at the first
orifice is affected. The perforated metal plate
(in connection with the riug E) serves the very
useful purpose of preventing puffs of wind
from affecting the flame. Aportion of the air
that enters the ring R passes up through open-
ings in plate K into the closed drum D, and,
having no other means of escape, passes in
upon the flame, between the incliaed surfaces
of cones F and H, as shown in the section.
This second hot air supply is intended to burn
the residual yapors completely, that the escap-

ready employment, whatever the condition of
the coal trade may be, as they are well adapted

to all classes of general freight, and carry
large cargoes at small cost. The practice of
building steamers exclusively for freight has of
late years made rapid progress among the ship-
builders of Great Britain, and large numbers of
the British iron steamers, always ready- for
empluyment inthe trade witb distant countries,
are of this class, devoid of passenger aecom-
modations, and cheap!y built by avoiding ex-
pensive inside finish. For this reason the
British merchants are now able at any time to
to furnish large and powerful iron steamers in
sufficient numbers to establish a regular or
transient line anywhere. The experiment made
by the Reading Railroad Company waa exclu-
sively intended to provide a permanent and
reliable fleet of colliers for their own coal
trade, to avoid the chronic scarcity of vessels at
Port Richmond whenever there is any con-
siderable pressure for the shipment of coal,
and as faras it has gone the experiment bas
answered that purpose admirably. But at the
same time these cvlliers have proved a most
valuable adjunct tothe trade of Philadelphia

and to the business of the Reading Railroad

Company. For, on the one hand, they may be-
depended upon by our merchants and shippers
in any commercial emergency, as they have

been often successfully used in the coasting
trade ; and, on the other hand, they are always
sure of employment. They earn the twterest
on their capital whether the coal trade is brisk
or dull,

‘Lhere are various lines of domestic produce
to which such vessels would seem to be pecu-
liariy applicable. Some years since a le of
steamers was built acd established at Boston,
to carry to that port from the West Indies mo-
lasses in buik, and several successful voyages
were made in that way. Grain in bulk is so
common a cargo DOW On ocean Voyages that, of
course, steamers built like the Reading Railroad
boats could be used for that trade.

This matter is of more importance to. the
geveral trade of commercial cities like Phila-
delphia than it has thus far been thought to
be. The cheapening of ocean freights is the
constant study of the English merchants and
shipbuilders. It was} that whieh gave birth to
the general application of the propeller for
ocean steam navigation. It was that which in-
duced them to use in the same general manner
compound engines, and it was that which in-
duced the great change in the model of their
steamers by which their length was so enor-
mously wereased. In this latter respect the
British builders are still far ahead of us, most
of their vessels being longer than ours, But
their latest device is the one to which we in
America have devoted least attention, that is,
the construction of steamers exclusively for
ocean freighting, and having no passenger ac-
commodations. The burdens of international
commerce have now become 80 great as to be
far in excess of the most sanguine expecta-
tions of former eras, and however ship owners
may at times be disheartened by the stagnation
of trade and the absence of employment for
their vessels, the returning waves of mercan-
tile activity soon surpass all the limits they
have previded for, and create a scareity where
a surplus bad been complained of. This would
soou be found to be the case iu every port of
America if commerce Were to regain the same
activity that characterized operations a few
years aga,

Screw Tang Lock Fast Solid Handle Kuaife.

There is no question but that a solid handle Knife is much more preferable than a scale tang. Tne great objection to their use hitherto is, that no solid wood handle
has been placed on the market with the handle properly secured—no handle put on with cement will stand the wear and tear of every day veage. The cement will expand
and contract with the action of heat and cold, and become loose, crack and come off. causing great prejudice against their use. This objection 1s overcome in our pateat
screw tang. A wood screw is welded to the tang of the Knife or Fors, and screwed firmly and securely in the nandle and locked there by the bolster, making a very strong
heat and handsome knife, whicn we warrant never to get loose, crack or come off. We manufacture a large variety of patterrs, both Table, Butcvers and Carvers, and

furnish the patent nandle nearly as low as the scale tang, We are prepared to furnish this line of goods, togethe
and very respectfully invite the attention of the trade. °

Another Launch at Chester,

On Saturday morning another iron steam-
ship was launched at the works of Messrs. John
Roach & Sons, at Chester. This was the first
launch since the Saratoga, a month ago, glided
off the ways, pulling with her the blocks upon
which she rested, and crushing to death half a
dozen men. Out of curiosity born of that ac-
cident, or from expectation that it would be
repeated, Saturday’s launch was watched with
interest, and when the new boat slowly and
gracefully moved off without accident, every-
tody seemed to feel a sense of relief.

The launch was under the immediate super-
vision of Mr. John Fountain, whose connection
with the Saratoga launch is remembered, and
so successful were his plans and purposes car-
ried out that he was immediately congratulated
by a score Or more of gentlemen prominent in
marine matters.

To avoid a repetition of the accident of last
wnontb, a number of extra precautious were
taken. Through the ‘‘shores”’ there were
more bolts than were used when the large
steamers Peking and Tokio were launched, and
these bolts, provided with wasbers both above
and below, were placed in new holes in the tim-
bers. At the stern of the vessel the ground
was cut away, and men were stationed along
ber sides with improvised gongs, with which to

alarm in case of accideult the force who were
at work under her.
At this juncture Mr. Roach, who was con-

stantly about the vessel, ordered all work in
the yard, except that connected with the
launch, to cease, and in a minute the usual din
gave way to a silence, broker ovly by the
hammering connected with the “ setting up’’
process. This order was given eo that the
workmeu might see the launch, but more es-
pecially for the purpose of aiding Mr. Fountain
in making himselt heard when warning those
beneath the vessel of coming danyer.

At 10°52, everything being in readiness, be
ordered the men under the bottom of the boat
to come out, and in four minutes from that
time the ship commenced moving, and slowly
descended to the river. The spectators evi-
dent'y expected, notwithstanding the precau-
tions tothe contrary, some accident, and as
e00n as the vessel Ieft the ways u large party
immediately rushed to where she had been
lyivg in apparent expectation that they would
find some one who had been injured or prob-
ably killed. Happily their expectations or
fears in this direction were not realized.

When the vessel was launched no one was
allowed on board except those whose duty
called them there. This was but avother bar
to accident. No one, even, was allowed on
board to christen her as she touched the water,
and the breaking of the traditional bottle of
wine over her bow was dispensed with. The
latter innovation is hereafter to be the rule
with the Messrs. Roach.

The vessel, which has not yet been named,
was built for Messrs. C. Il. Mallory & Co., of
New York, and is inteaded to run between
Galveston and points along the Rio Grande.
She is 226 feet fiye inches ic levgth oo the
eight foot water line; 239 feet seven inches in
length over all; 34 feet beam (molded) ;
depth from the base to the spar deck beams,
18 feet 244 inches ; 16 feet 544 inches depth of
hold. Herengines are to be compound and
two in number, with cylinders 24 and 44 inches
in diameter, with 44 inch stroke.

She is also to have two retura tubular boilers,
10 feet 3 inches long, 10 feet wide, and 8 feet 6
inches high. Her weight is 3,000,000 pounds ;
tonnage, 2200; speed, 11 knots; low draught,
7g feet, and carrying capacity of cotton 5000
bales. She will be polacca rigged, carrying
3567 equare feet of canvas. Aft sbe is pro-
vided with compartmeuts capable of holding
80 tons of water, which will be used for de-
pressing the stern before aud after crossing the
bar at Corpus Christi. Beside ber officers and
crew, she can accomodate 30 first-cluss pas-
sengers.

Labor Troubles in the Lehigh Valley.
—A dispatch from Allentown, under date of
the 23d imet., says: A large number of opera-
tives employed in the irop manufacturing es-
tablishments in the Schuyikili, Lehigh aud
Susquehanna valleys are now on a strike
against the announced reduction in wages.
All the puddlers at Laight’s Rolling Mul, at
Lebanon, and those at Potts’ Iron Works, at
Columbia, are now out. There are between
1000 and 1500 men on strike, and it is possivle
this number will be largely increased ina few
days. The severest reduction is that announced
by the Betulebem Steel and [ron Company, be-
ing trom 5 to 25 per cent.

a

Atraveling grasshopper machine has been
invented in Minnesota which promises well.
It is mounted on four wheels, wilh a shectiror
platform, with wire screens, six feet in bight.
A drag on the round is to stir up the hoppers,
and as they mse aud fly they are caught, dis-
pose@of in a trough, and thence they hop be-
tween two rollers and are crusbed, or the hop-
pers may be bagued or preserved for bounty,
The machine may be run pear the ground or
much above it, and is under tbe control of the
driver. The machine is propc lied by horses in
the rear, und the inventor tbhioks it will clean
up the grasshoppers over 300 acres in a day.
The machines are of different sizes and prices ;
one horse, $60; two borse, $100. The muchine
is said to be quite siwple, and it is believed
will be effectual.

There are at present in France steam engines
of an aggregate borse-power of 1,500,000, which
is equal to the effective labor of 31,000,000 men,
or about ten times the industrial population of
the couutry. Yet 80 very ieceutly as 1852,
there were Ooly GOOU stationary sleam eogiwes
in the whole of France, and these were estimated

at only 45,000 horse-power,

PATENT DOUBLE ACTING SPRING BUTTS.

Patented April 18,1876.
,

FOR SWINGING DOORS BOTH WAYS.

These Butts are the first ever constructed with two leaves only, and with flanges attached thereto for fasten-
ing to the door and coming, thus rendering them much more substantial and easy to put on, as the screwe are all
driven from the outside. By means of the flanges the door is hung Srey to the casing, instead of to a strip as is
thecase with all other double. acting Butts, and tne screws do not become |oose, as the s' Tain on them is much less,
On the back of the Butt 1s a powerful volute spring, and draws in direct line with the center of the doer, thus
holdivg the door firmly in position, and obviating all sag. Our price list is from % to 40 per cent. lower than
others. Manufactured by THE SABIN MFG. CO., Montpelier, Vr.

These enormous navies strike the reader
as most extraordinary when it is remem-
bered that, as yet, iron-clads are entirely ex-
perimental. Probably since the first iron-
clad of the Crimean war there have not
been a half dozen sea-going iron-clads in
action with vessels of their own class. At
the present moment we can remember of
but two or three such naval engagements.
Even these have been unsatisfactory, since
the fighting was not sharp enough to test
the vessels themselves. The modern iron-
clad dates from the time of the iron-clad
floating batteries of the Crimean war which
were used against Sebastopol. Among the
earlier vessels of note are the Warrior, be-
longing to the English, and La Gloire, to
the French, both sea-going vessels of the
first-class ; yet it is a significant fact that
within a year or two of the time they
were finished there were guns made and
in service which could send both shell and
solid shot through their heaviest_ plating,

ships as they are called, have engines of
8629 horse-power each. The combined
engines of the 68 English iron-clad vessels
are capable of developing 269,788 horse-
power. We have not the exact fig-
ures for the indicated horse-power of
the other navies, but we can approximate
it very closely. The 53 French iron-clads
aggregate 100,000 horse-power, Austria’s
15 vessels 40,000 horse-power, Italy’s,
not including the two new vessels, 72,-
000 horse-power, Russia’s 382 vessels
64,000 horse-power. In the case of the
Russian ships the amount of power seems
small as compared with the number of
vessels, but this is because of the large
proportionate number of floating batteries
and vessels for coast defense, of which she
has 21, and which do not need large en-
gines. The 30 Turkish vessels have about
48,000 horse-power. The Turkish vessels
seem to be rather lightly engined and are
probably slow. Two of them, however,
are first-class line-of-battle ships, with
large engines and 12 inch plating.

Evidently we have come upon the days
when it is no longer possible ‘‘in time of
peace to prepare for war.”” The iron-ciads
of to-day and of the past cannot run away
from the superior vessel, because hereafter
the more powerful vessel will also be the
swifter one, and it simply remains for them
to go tothe bottom with all on board or sur-
render. Everything points to the fact that
ours has been a wise economy in abandon-
ing the attempt to maintain an iron clad
navy after the close of our civil war, and
leaving to other nations the burden of
making the costly experiments which are
teaching us as much as foreign naval arch-
itects are learning from them. When we
are ready to begin, should the necessity
ever arise, we can take up the experiments
where they leave them, and if we care to
spend any money in this direction it would
be best invested in providing the facilities
for building great ships when we shall

want them.

Terms of Credit in the Stove Trade.

By our report of the proceedings of the
National Association of Stove Manufac-
turers at Detroit, it will be seen that the
discussion of matters affecting the welfare
of the stove trade centered principally
upon the question of the desirability and
practicability of selling stoves on thirty
and sixty days, instead of four months.
That such a change would be desirable
was conceded by everyone, but there were
comparatively few who seemed to re-
gard it as practicable under existing
conditions. It must be confessed, how-
ever, that there are many and serious ob-
jections to the present system. The stove
dealer usually combines hardware, tinware,
and a more or less general Hine of house
furnishing goods with stoves. His tin
plates, stamped goods and hardware are
bought on thirty and sixty days ; his stoves
are bought on four months, and usually on
open account, so that the date of payment
is practically at his convenience. If he can-
not meet his obligations at four months he
can easily devise some expedient for delay-
ing payment, and usually effect a settle-
ment by giving a note at sixty days. Inthe
meantime he must take care of his pay-
ments on hardware, metals, &c., and if he
fails in this the hardware jobber, metal
dealer and stamped ware manufacturer
usually get all they can, and leave the
stove maker, whose bill matures sixty
days later, to get what he can out of the
wreck. This puts the stove manufacturer
at a serious disadvantage, which is not
much improved when the dealer gives his
note at four months. If he fails it is
likely to be before his stove notes come
due, and at maturity they are practically
good for nothing. To equalize this differ-
ence it is proposed to sell stoves on the
same terms as hardware and tin plates,
This would be immensely advantageous to
the stove makers, but it would involve a
radical change in the methods of conduct-
ing the business which cannot be brought
about by so simple an expedient as a reso-
lution approved by the National Associa-
tion. It is with this as with nearly all the
other troubles of which the stove manu-
facturers complain—it is one of their own
making. The production of stoves is in
excess of the requirements of trade, and
somebody must carry stocks over from one
season to another. Each one is anxious
that this burden should fall on his neigh-
bor, and all, or nearly all, are so anxious to
sell that the dealer has but little trouble in
making his own terms. If one manufac-| i
he can get a line of ‘‘ samples” from an-
other to be paid for when sold. The
manufacturer who is too stringent as to
his terms of credit would probably drive
away the greater part of his trade, and
this state of affairs is likely to continue
until there shall be a closer relation than
now exists between the supply of stoves
and the demand for them.

Japan, Java, Borneo and Sarawak and the
Phillippine Islands, from and to ports in

tion, however, and both should be fairly
considered, The retail trade in stoves is
peculiarly a fall and early winter trade.
The demand for tinware and hardware is
distributed pretty evenly over the year,
and a dealer can turn over his stock about
so often in a given time. Not so with
stoves. He buys when he does, not so
much because he wants the stoves as be-
cause it is his habit, formed when he was
obliged to order early to get his goods in
before the roads became bad and the cost
of transportation advanced, and encour-
aged by the manufacturers, who, generally
speaking, prefer that the dealers should
carry their stocks rather than carry them
themselves under constant expense for
storage and insurance. If the dealer is
required to buy on short note he will rot
buy until he wants the goods, and the man-
ufacturer must do all his selling within a
few weeks. His previous canvassing will
count for little, as the eustomer wiil in
the end belong to the man who gets his
order. Now, when a manufacturer has
his stoves in a dealer’s cellar he is sure of
his custom, and we doubt very much if
the risk thus taken would, in the eyes of a
majority of makers, offset the advantage
of forestalling competitors in selling. It
would be absurd to suppose that the dealer
could be induced to buy stoves when he
now orders them if he were required to
pay for them in halt the time now allowed.
The disadvantage of which the manufac-
turers complain grows naturally out of the
nature of the stove trade and the existing
conditions of competition. Probably stoves
will continue to be sold on four months
like other goods for which the demand is
limited to a single season, and the extent
to which reform is practicable will proba-
bly be found in requiring the dealer to
give his note for stoves bought by him,
and then look sharply after its collection
at maturity. The discussion at Detroit
gives no suggestion as to the means by
which any more favorable result than this
could be reached, and even this will in-
volve a termination of the guerilla compe-
tition which manufacturers have main-
tained during the past few years. Per-
haps, as Mr. Jewett said, it will be easier
to effect such a reform a year or eighteen
months hence than now.

From what precedes it will be seen that
less than a decade has sufficed to divert
more than one-quarter of the entire traffic
between England and the East from the
circuitous route round the Cape of Good
Hope to the shorter and more expeditious
one of the canal. Costly goods, such as
silks, opium, indigo and other drugs and
dyes, on which the saving of interest is a
great item, reached London, it is true, by
rail across the Isthmus of Suez long
before the canal was dug, but since
then even bulkier and cheaper mer-
chandise has begun to take the Isth-
mus route, for the telegraph aiding,
and the certainty of their prompt arrival
precisely when required, enables the owner
to sell them to arrive if he chooses. The
financial and commercial advantages of
importing through the canal are indeed so
great and palpable that within the next dec-
ade more than one-half of the entire Brit-
ish Eastern trade will, in all likelihood,
pass through this favorite route, unless
disturbed by war in the meantime.

That the United States and other com-
mercial nations will be driven by consider-
ations such as we have just pointed out to
avail themselves moie and more of the
canal, seems to us quite certain, and the
transit will then assume proportions ex-
ceeding even the most sanguine expecta-
tions of its originators.

End of the Molders’ Strike at Troy.

On the 22d instant, the Molders’ Union,
of Troy, voted to allow members to work
in any shop op anyterms. This not only
ends the strike, which has lasted about
eight months, but virtually dissolves the
union. The sacrifices which these men
have made have been wasted, and at the
end of a long period of voluntary idleness
they find themselves not only impover-
ished, but with no present chance of find-
ing employment. Less stoves will be made
this year than last, and fewer molders re-
quired. The worst feature of the case,
however, is found in the fact that the sur-
plus labor of other sections has been drawn
to Troy and Albany to take the places va-
cated by the strikers. The manufacturers
have obtained all the labor they have any
present use for outside of the union, and
the tardy resolution of the molders to meet
the situation comes too late. A stove manu-
facturer said to us the other day: ‘‘ The

THE IRON AGE:.!

‘‘every day with assurances that they are
*‘ starving, and I can neither give them
‘work nor advice. A few may find em-
‘« ployment, but there is nothing in the im-
“ mediate future of the stove trade to war-
‘‘rant the belief that many will be so for-
‘“‘tunate. Our offer to employ non-union
‘‘ labor during the strike brought us all the
‘“men we wanted, and there is no chance
‘‘for the union molders to get work here
‘tor where our new men came from.”
This is the net result of the struggle which
has lasted so long and been attended with
such bitterness, and even with bloodshed.
A little thought would have convinced
apy intelligent man inthe union that the
contest was hopeless in the present de-
pressed condition of the industry, and we
have no doubt that many were wise enough
to foresee the result before the strike be-
gan. But the demagogues who control the
union bave had their own way, and, as
usual, have led the men into a sea of
troubles from which they can find their
own way out. The moral of this sad story
is obvious, but there is little reason to be-
lieve that the men will remember the
teachings of experience longer than until
the next seemingly favorable opportunity
for astrike. It also has a moral for the
manufacturers. The triumph they have
won now could have been won a dozen
years ago at a much less cost. They per-
mitted the union to become a formidable
power by conceding its unjust demands
and seizing the little brief advantage re-
sulting from working, when in other dis-
tricts the manufacturers were struggling
with the union. Their turn came at last,
and their final victory has been gained at a
cost great enough to fairly offset any part
of the advantage resulting from a tempor-
izing policy. They have found at last that
they must control their own business, and
that they cannot, in justice to themselves,
tolerate any interference from the union.
If they had made this discovery sooner
they would have been in a much better
condition to-day than they are.
rt

Position of the Spelter Markets.

In a previous article early in March we
spoke of the increased production of spel-
ter in Europe, while consumption was not
as active as in former years. A notable
decline had then taken place, and, instead
of improving, the position on the other
side from the same causes has since that
time become even worse. With the paral-
ysis brought about by the political
status of the Continent, the depreciation
has made further headway. Prices have
now declined to such a low point in
Europe that in Silesia, at least, we believe
there is a prospect that production will be
curtailed, but this may not be the case
with the smelting of spelter from Spanish
calamine in England, which may still be
profitable even at the reduced price of the
metal.

With these uncertainties before them
metal dealers in Europe have of late ab-
stained from handling large quantities of
spelter. The last extensive purchases in Si-
lesia were made during the month which
preceded the declaration of war by Russia,
and were mainly based on the supposition
that there would be a peaceful settlement
of the Eastern difficulty. These large pur-
chases on an erroneous calculation have,
therefore, done no good to the European
markets, for the lots secured may at any
moment be closed out again at a loss, and
they thus add another element of weak-
ness to the situation.

In our own market there has been the
disappointment of a slack spring de-
mand for building purposes, while the
supply of the more common brands
of spelter of domestic manufacture has
continued to be liberally offered from
the West. Meanwhile the activity in the
brass manufacturing districts has been
quite satisfactory, and the better brands
of domestic spelter have sold to a fair ex-
tent in consequence, without, however,
leading to a very brisk demand at any time.
Production, so far as we are able to judge,
has been fully up to, and even slightly in
excess of, our capacity of absorption, and
the tendency of prices has remained a
downward. Common spelter, from 63¢c.;
currency, has gradually declined to
5%c., currency, and the more desirable
brands have settled from 6%(c., currency,
to 6l4c. and 630c., currency, during
this interval of three months. The low
price of the very best domestic spelter has
done away for the present with all further
importation of Silesian in this market,
notwithstanding the simultaneous decline
in Europe. Unless our own production
during the remainder of the year should
be excessive, there is, in the absence of
foreign importation, a chance that a further
depreciation of the domestic product may
be stayed, and that with a good fall de-
mand prices may improve.

A year or two ago it would have seemed
improbable for spelter to have declined to
present prices, but the absence of specula-

tion observable in nearly all metals since last
winter, both in Europe and here, combined
with the general dullness of trade, has de-
prived them of artificial support, and they
have all more or less given way, spelter
not proving an exception.

<<
>_>

A large number of operatives, some 1500,
we believe, have struck against a reduc-
tion of wages which is proposed in some
of the large iron establishments in the Le
high and Susquehanna valleys. The re-
duction seems to be an irregular one, vary-
ing from 5 to 25 per cent. The result of
this strike is looked upon with a good deal
of interest, because it will be taken asa
guide by the operatives in the iron mills of
tbe two regions, and although the strikers
form but a small proportion of the whole,
yet their action, in the opinion of many,
will decide the question of a general lock-
out. It is thought that this is inevit-
able if the reduction is not accepted.
That the action of the men in resisting the
proposed reduction by a strike, is down-
right folly no one but the demagogues who
have led them into it will venture to deny.
A strike is the last desperate expedient of
labor to redress its wrongs. It is justifi-
able only under peculiar conditions, which
do not exist in this case. Inthe present
state of the iron trade it is probable the
manufacturers, when the men have struck,
can make it as profitable to be idle as to
run their mills. There is no scarcity of
iron workers just now, and if the manu-
facturers want men they will have no
trouble in finding them outside the union.

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
STOVE MANUFACTURERS.

The Semi-Annual Meeting in Detroit,
Michigan.

(Concin" ed.)

The second session of the sem!-annual meet-
ing was called to order by the President at 11
a. m., Thursday, June 14th. The following gen-
tlemen were present in addition to those an-
swering the roll call on the previous day:
R. P. Myers, of Myers, Osborn & Co., and
W. T. Allen, of Cleveland Stove Co., Cleve-
land, O.

Mr. Sard, of the Committee on the Presi-
dent’s Address, made the following report :

First.—While it is yet too early to predict
with any degree of certainty the result of the
crops, your committee believe that even if
the favorable hopes regarding them are real-
ized, with the large stock carried over from
last year the country will pot require a pro-
duction of more than two-thirds of the stoves
that were made last year; hence, any produc-
tion m excess of this proportion will be an
overproduction.

Second.—We wish to embody as part of our
report the following paragraph of President
Jewett’s address: ‘‘ Extreme economy in every
detail of manufacturing, constant discretion in
granting credits and persistent diligence in
making collections, are the elements that must
pave the way to success.’ We believe that
when any parties are in the habit of allowing
their obligations to pass maturity, it is prima
JSacie evidence that their business is not ina
healthy condition, and, unless changed, disas-
trous results will follow.

Third.—That we indorse the sentiments ex-
pressed by our President in opposition to the
reciprocity treaty with Canade, and recom-
mend that a committee of five be appointed by
the President, of which he shall be chairman,
to represent this Association, and take such
action as will protect our common interests.

Fourth.—Your committee believe it would be
unwise to dispense with the eem{-annual meet-
ing of the Association, and recommend—

Fifth.—That the annual meeting in January
be held in the city of Cleveland.

The report was received and laid on the
table.

On motion of Mr. Chamberlain it was taken
up in sections and considered seriatum.

The Secretary then read the first recommend-
ation.

Mr. Chamberlain moved that the last clause
be stricken out. If there was an overproduc-
tion the manufacturers had better keep the fact
to themselves.

Mr. Warren agreed with Mr. Chamberlain.

Mr. Eddy did not see why it should be
stricken out. It seemed to him that the report
would be incomplete without it. Concealment
would not change the fact.

Mr. Chamberlain said: In the first clause it
is stated that the reason we must manufacture
a third less stoves this year, is because we car-
ried over a large stock from last year, and we
do not want to say that the trade is insuch a
condition that we are obliged to throw all this
surplus into the market this year. It would be
a confession of weakuess.

The President agreed with Mr. Chamber)ain
that the clause should be stricken out. It was
going a little too far, and would misrepresent
the situation to the dealers, whu would con-
clude that if the stove market was to be slaugh-
tered they had better wait.

Mr. Chamberlain’s motion was then carried,
and the question was on the adoption of the
recommendation.

Mr. Sard said there had been some difference
of opinion in the committee as to the form of
expression to be used, We all know that the
production of stoves exceeds the demand for

production. Each one hopes it will be some-
body else, so that he may reap the benefit. If
we believe that a two-thirds production will
meet the demand this year, we should regulate
our action accordingly. There is not very
much difference in the cost of making a stove
in different foundries, and not much chance for
One to prosper on the misfortunes of another.
The question of production should, certainly,
be very carefully considered, and whatever was
agreed to by vote should be done.

Mr. Myers said the subject had been before
the Association nearly every meeting he had
attended, but he had failed to see anything ac-
complished by the discussion, He had known
of members agreeing that a lessened produc-
tion was necessary, and then going home and
extending their foundries or leasing new ones.
He had very little hope that it would be difter-
ent in the future. His own opinion was that a
larger reduction than had been recommended
by the committee would be advantageous, and
that there would be more money made in the
future if this year’s production were not more
than half that of Jast year.

Mr. Shephard hoped the report of the com-
mittee would be adopted. What Mr. Myers
had said was true, but they were asscmbled
merely to confer and not todirect. If a reduc-
tion of production was necessary, the Associa-
tion should not be afraid to state it distinctly.

Mr. Cribben thought the resolution was well
enough, but had little faith in its being carried
out. Some would decrease and some would in-
crease their production. He thought it would
be well for the Association to regulate the pro-
duction of every manufacturer, and to say that

this is not pessible under the present organi-
zation, he hoped the matter would receive
the consideration of the members. He be-
lieved it possible to make their organization
effective.

The recommendation was then adopted.

The second and third resolutions were then
adopted without discussion. The fourth rec-
ommendation was then read, and its adoption
moved by Mr. Shephard.

Mr. Tefft disagreed with the recommendation,
and thought there should be only one meeting
a year, to extend over three or four days, or
even a week if necessary.

The recommendation was laid on the table
for consideration at the next meeting, and a
motiou by Mr. Warren to amend the fifth rec-
ommeudation, by substituting New York for
Cleveland, was carried, fixing New York as the
place for the winter meeting.

The Secretary then read the following report
from the Committee on Credits :

The committee appointed to consider the
propriety of establishiog a Bureau of Credits,
devoted exclusively to the interests of this
Association, would respectfully report :

That having had their attention called to the
undertaking of a work of a similar character hy
an organization known as the Hardware Mer-
eantile Association, which seems to promise all

bureau, would therefore recommend that the
establishment of said bureau, as contemplated,
be abandoned, and that the members of this
Association make a thorough test of the merits
of said Hardware Mercantile Association,
which, for the present, has its principal office
in Chicago, and has been tested to the satisfac-
tion of many of the members of this Associ-
ation. We would further recommend that the
said Hardware Mercantile Association be ex-
tended to all parts of the country, to the end
thatthe entire trade may become members,
and thereby secure the full benefits contem-
plated.
The report was adopted.

Mr. Eddy hoped that every member would
test the merits of this system, and try to ex-
tend its usefulness to those not present. He
believed it would be one of the best aids the
trade could have in determining credits.

The President then called for the reports of
committees.

Mr. Spear, Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions on the deathof Mr. Rollhaus, re-
ported as follows:

Resolved, That we have learned with feelings
of pain and regret of the death of our esteemed
friend and associate, Mr. P. Rollhaus, and that
we sympathize with the family and relatives of
our deceased associate m tteir sad bereave-
ment.

Adopted.

Mr. Barbour, Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions on the death of Mr. Anthony, sub-
mitted the following :

That in the death of Douleete M. Anthory,
lately associate1 with the Michigan Stove Vom.
pany, of Detroit, Mich., and one who bus been
frequently among us at our places of meetings,
who, by his gentlemanly bearing, strict intex-
rity and social relations, had won the respect
of all our members,

Resolved, That the sympathy of this Associa-
tion is hereby tendered to his bereaved wife,
family and friends with the assurances that his
memory will ever be cherished with the great-
est respect.

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be
placed on file by the Secretary, and that an ad-
ditional copy be sent tis wife and family.
Adopted.

The report of the Treasurer was then pre-
sented, showing a considerable cash balance
in the treasury, and a sound financial cond:-
tion.

Letters from Mayor Lewis acd Mr. Robert E.
Roberts, Chairman of the Comwittee of the
Public Library, were received and placed on
file.

Mr, Chamberlain presented the following :
Whereas, In looking over and comparing
the experience of stove manufacturers for the
past five years, we are forced to the conclusion
that the business of manufacturing stoves has
not been as remunerative as it should have
been im view of the large amount of capital in-
vested and the labor and experience required

in ite successful prosecution ; therefore, be it
Resolved, That ip view of the ahove facts it

every stove made by members of the Associa-;
tion should be sold at a hving profit. Although ) What Mr. Phillips had said was true, but in the
{ effort to save storage and insurance, the stove

that was designed to be accomplished by said

consumption, and that somebody must lessen | would seem wise in us to 100K forward to such

changes in our business as wil! produce differ-
ent results in the future.

Resolved, That since, in comparing our man-
ner and system of conducting our business with
other branches of business very nearly allied
to ours, we find their goods are sold on about
one-half of the usual time of our goods, we
therefore feel that the time has come or is rap-
idly approaching, when our goods should be
sold on very much shorter time.

In support of these resolutions Mr. Cham-
berlain said: I think I speak from the expe-
rience of nearly every stove manufacturer who
is selling stoves to parties dealing in hardware or
other commodities when I say you will find
that trade is settling on thirty and sixty days’
time. Suppose the stove manufacturers adhere
to their plan of selling on four months, you
will find that whenever the party becomes
cramped and gets into difficulties, the
hardware and the iron men_ step. in
and take what he has, and we come in with
our paper due two months afterward, and
find nothing left for us. It seems to me if
the members of this Association will figure the
difference between selling on three or four
months and selling on sixty days, they will find
a very wide difference. When other branches
of industry are shortening their credits, we
would find it wise to take a step in the same
direction.

Mr. Phillips called attention to a difficulty in
making the sixty day rule apply to stoves.
Hardware js used about equally through the
whole year, while stoves are called for in the
fall and spring. By selling to the dealer in ad-
vance of his requirements his trade is secured,
and the manufacturer is saved the expense of
storing his product.

Mr. Shephard agreed with Mr. Chamberlain.

founder incurreé an additional msk, which
more than off-set the advantage gained. He
could see uo reason why the hardware and tin
dealers should be allowed to retain so large an
advantage over the stove manufacturer ae they
now haye.

Mr. Spear thought the worst evils of the
trade had grown out of the reckless efforts of
manufacturers to sell goods without proper se-
curity.

the argument advanced by Mr. Phillips, but
was convinced that it was wrong. Selling goods
ou four months to save storage diemoralizes the
trade. It subjects the manufacturer to al the
contingencies of bad crops, dull trade and
other casualties, and he had better keep his
goods on hand than sell them on such terms.
When a man buys onsixty days be will buy
more carefully.

Mr. Sard advised a close scrutiny of credits,
and prompt and persistent efforts to collect.
He did not expect to see the time when stoves
would be sold on the same terms of credit as
sheet iron and tin plates. This was never pos-
sible except during the war, when the demand
excceded the supply. Under present conditions
it is impossible. The time has gone by for
“lapping”? accounts. If we will use our
strongest efforts to collect what is due us
promptly, it will be attended with great advan-
tage.

Mr. Myers thought the stove manufacturers
should adopt a different system in the collection
of accounts. He understood that the Cincin-
nati manufacturers always required notes.

Mr, Chamberlain said that he did not recol-
lect more than three or four cases during the
past two years in which he had sent a man a bill
of goods amounting to $50 without sending
with ita draft for his acceptance. They re-
quired it to be signed and made payable at his
own bank in his own town and returned. They
sold no man on open account.

Mr. Myers understood the plan had also Leen
adopted in St. Louis. In Cleveland they havea
somewhat different system. Beside making
stoves they sold tinners’ stock generally. Inu
the matter of tin plates all customers whose
bills are not settled within 30 days are drawn
upon at 5 days’ sight. These drafts are now
met very promptly. The same men buy stoves
at four months, and take their own time in
paying for them. He would much like to see
the note system generally adopted; probably
four months is as short a tims as stoves could
be sold on, but we should bave notes and col-
lect them when due.

Mr. Barbour arked if it had not been the cus-
tom in Cincinnati to sell on six months.

Mr. Chamberlain replied that it had not been
to bis knowledge.

Mr. Whitehead said that in Chicago it was
the custom to make buyers sign orders in
which the terms of the sale were clearly stated.
This saved a great deal of misunderstanding.
He thought this custom should be general.

Mr. Cribben thought this discussion of cred-
its well enough, but dou':ted if it would Jead
to anything of practical value. He thought
the credits in the stove trade ought to be
shorter. Everybody had found by experience
tbat when a dealer fails, the hardware and metal
men get all his assets, and the stove manufac-
turer can do nothing to prutect his own inter-
ests, because bis account isnot due, He bad
often stood by and heard hardware men ivstruct
their collectors to hurry around and geta)l they
could, as it was nearly time for the stove men
to get their pay. He believed the Association
must go to the root of the matter. Everything
that costs the manufacturer cash should be sold
for cash, If this could not be done it was folly
to talk about it. He would like to see more work
aud hear Jess talk, although he liked to talk
pretty well himself. The thirty-day system
could only be secured by united effort.

Mr. Patton moved that the further discussion
of the subject be referred to the January meet-
ing.

Mr. Chamberlain thought there was no better
time to discuss it than then.

Mr, Whitehead said that a few days before a

dealer who bas always paid a hundred cents on

Mr. Chamberlain said he had many times used |

— -— -—_ _ a

the dollar, said to him: ‘“‘I have a neighbor
whose competition has nearly ruined me.
Sometimes I have thought I did not know how
to do business, when I have seen the stoves
unloaded in front of his door and heard the
prices at which he was selling. Now I find the
man has made a statement and offers to settle
at 25 cents on the dollar. Are you going to
settle with him? 1 believe youare; and here |
have been standing for three or four years wait-
ing for this ruinous competition to come to an
end. If you settle with this man, is it going to
be any better for me for the next three or four
yeats?”’ This question has a serious impor-
tance for our honest and solvent customers.

The President said he had some _ hesi-
tation in accepting the invitation to speak
on this subject. He was satisfied that
stove manufacturers would not be com-
pelled to sell on any less favorable terms
than the hardware people. For the Jatter to
sell on thirty and sixty days, while the former
sold on four months, with indefinite extension,
is all wrong. The change, however, was one
that could not be brought about at once.
Stocks are now so large, and manufacturers so
anxious to sell that it seems probable it would
be necessary to postpone definite action until
amore favorable opportunity. It ought to be
agitated and discussed, however, until the time
was ripe for itsadoption. The fact of overpro-
duction lay at the bottom of all these evils,
If manufacturers would make less stoves

’
they could sell them on better terms. He
thonght it probable that within a year it would
be possible for the manufacturer to say to the
dealer, we will sell you stoves on the same
terms at which you can buy hardware.

Mr. Shephard thought that the first step in
the direction of a lessened production should
be to shorten credits. If we only sell to dealers
what they can pay for there will not be much
overproduction.

Mr. Barbour seconded Cul. Patton's motion
to postpone the further discussion of the
question until the January meeting.

The motion wos carried.

Mr. Cribben offered the following :

Whereas, The stove mauufacturera for the
past three years, by overproduction and other-
wise, have been compelled by ruinous competi-
tion to sell the product of their foundries at a
lors instead of a prefit,

Resolved, That a committee be appointed by
the President to devise ways and means where-
by this Association cen better regulate the
amount of production im accordance with the
actual wants of the couctry, and secure manu-
facturers shorter time in selling stoves, and
more equitable prices, and that they report at
the meeting to be held iv January, *

Adopted.

The Chair named the following gentlemen as
the committee: Henry Cribben, Chicago ;
Grange Sard, Jr., Albany; Geo. H. Phillips,
Troy, and Wm. H. Whitehead, Chicago.

Mr. Eddy offered the following ;

Resolved, That this Association reaffirm its
former expression that the bankrupt law should
be repealed, and that we continue our personal
and collective efforts for its repeal.

Adopted.

Mr. Tefft moved a vote of thanks to the esc-
retary of the Iron aud Steel Association for
copies of their pampblets entitled *‘‘ Canadian
Reciprocity.”

Carried.

Mr. Barbour thought there should be some
discussion on the question of odd plates. There
were scarcely any members but were familiar
with the evil growing out of the filing up of odd
plates cud their sale below the market prices.
He thought there should be two classifications
—one price for common castings like grates,
tire pots, &c., and another for face pieces.

The Chair suggested that Mr. Barbour put
his suggestion in the form of a resolution.

In the meantime the following committee
were ar.counced on Reciprocity: 8, 8. Jewett,
Buffalo; 1. A. Shephard, Philadelphia; A. E.
Chamberlain; Cincinnati ; Jos. W. Fuller, Troy;
Wm. H. Tefts, Detroit.

Mr. Barbour then presented the following in
writing.

Resolved, That in the price of odd plates there
be made two distinct classes ; as follows:

First Class.—Al\ untaced plates such as grates,
fire puls, magazines, etc., to be classified as
heavy plates and sold at tive cents per puand
net.

Second Class.—All faced plates to be cl issified
as light plates and -uid at seven cents per
pound net.

The above prices subj-cted to any suc
<a as tue Association might docm advisa-

e.

Mr. Sard moved that the resolution be laid
upon the table. He thought there bad been
too much discussion already on the subject of
repairs, aud it would be impossibie to pass any
resolution which would have any binding
effect.

The motion to lay on the table was carried.

Resolutions were then adopted thanking the
public officials of Detroit, the stove manufac-
turers of that city, and the press for courtesies
received ; also resolutions thanking the Presi-
dent and Secretary forthe able marner in which
they have discharged their arduous duties, and
the proprietors of the Rus-ell House for bos-
pitable entertainment.

The Assoctation then adjourned to meet in
New York, Jan. 16, 1878.

THE SAIL ON THE RIVER.

At 1°30 p. m. the members and guests of the
Association took the steamer Excelsior for a
sail on the river. Music and an abundant col-
lation were provided, and with delightful
weather all the conditions were favorable to
the largest enjoyment. The sail extended
from Lake St. Clair to Gross Isle, and gave the
guests a good view ot the very beautiful river
which is the pride of every citizen of Detroit.
The sail occupied about six hours, and was the
feature of the liberal entertainment which will
Jeave on the minds of visitors pleasant mem-
ories of the city.

far below Cloverport in Breckenridge county. |
Ic the space thus included he the whole of nine |

counties, and parts of five more, making an ap-
proximate total of nearly 4000 square miles for
the area of the coal field.

The Number of Coal Beds, &c.—Twelve coal
beds have been identified in the space between

the conglomerate (the base of the coal meas- |

ures) and the summit of the serics. It is be-
lieved as not imprcbable, however, for reasons
unnecessary to discuss here, that, when suffi-
cient data have been gathered to warrant a
generalizition concerning the number of beds,
it will be iound expedient to designate a less
number of coals in the general section for the
coal field. For the present, therefore, a letter
is used to designate each bed. The results of
the work o£ the survey, so far, point to eight
as the number of beds that may prove sufli-
ciently trustworthy to receive final numbers,
The total thickness of the coal measures is as
yet only approximately known. ‘The thickness
is veriable, as is the number of coal beds, and
is greater at some localities than at others. It
does not seem probable, however, that it will
anywhere exceed 1000 feet, and there are dis-
tricts in which it is less than 800 feet. On the
map of Kentucky will be found a section show-
ing the position and number of these coals as
determined by Dr. Owen’s survey, as well as
some modifications made by the present sur-
vey. The thickness indicated for each bed,
and the included space, are strictly in accord-
ance with Dr. Owen's statement.

The preliminary arrangement adopted in the
present survey differs in some particulars from
the foregoing. In some instances the distances
between the coals are increased, and in others
diminished; and several of the beds are repre-
sented ata greater or smaller thickness than
they are in Dr. Owen’s section. The irregular
distribution of the coal necessitated the separa-
tion of that part of the coal field thus far ex-
amined into three divisions. The first extends
from the eastern border of the field to the
Green River; the seeond is approximately
bounded by the Green and Pond rivers, and
the third extends from the Pond River to the
western margin of the field.t In the first di-
vision are found coals A, B, C, D, E, H, K and
L, proving 8 of the 12 beds to be present. In

the second division are found coals A, B, C, D, |

E, F, G and H, the number bere also being
eight. This, however, does not represent all
of the coals that may be found, as the base of
the coal measures was not reached ; it repre-
sents Only those coals that come to the surface,
or that have been reached in pits ; no doubt,
most of the lower beds are present. In the
third division most of the coals are found, the
absent ones probably being C, F, G and K (?),
Generalizing from the results obtained in each
of these divisions, it is found that the average
distances between the coals from A to H in-

D. D. Owen, Director. They are quite imperfect, so
far as regards details, but are enfliciently accurate
for present general pppanes. The faithful delinea
tion of the outline of the coal field has been made
part of the work of the present survey.

+ The region in question is that which is traversed
by the Louisville, Paducah and Southweetern Rail-
road; none of the country bordering the Ohio River
is included, nor yet that lying near the southern
margin of the field. None of that region has yet
been sufficiently studied to report on the number of
beds. See Part VI, Vol. I, second series Kentucky

The above drawings show the progress of screw making from the old blunt

point to style now adopted.

Experience has shown that the weak point of screws, as formerly made, is at the
heel of the thread, where all the strains of forcing the screw into the wood naturally

concentrate.

To avoid the sharp angle existing in the old style of screws has nevn the aim of
all manufacturers, but every expedient hitherto adopted has proved as objectionable

as the evil complained of.

It will be seen in our new screw that nu only is the sharp angle avoided, but

the strength very much increased, as iiiustrated above. See sections at lines.

picked specimeus have in the largest number of
| cases been used for analysis, and analyses made
}under such conditions caunot be fairly com-
| pared with ours, that were in every case made
from samples mechanically taken and faithfully
}averaged. It has been known for some years
| that the coals of the Western coal fields carry,
| as a class, more sulphur than do those in the
Appalachian field; and less than do those in
the Missouri and Iowa coal field. It is not,
therefore, with the coals of the states in the
Appalachian coal field that the Western Ken-
tucky beds are to be compared as a class, but
with those in the West; and when such com-
parison is impartially made, the Kentucky
coals, as a class, are not excelled by those in
other sections of the Western coal field.

In Indiana and Illinois there are certain beds
that have won a high reputation, a better one
indeed than has hitherto been accorded the
Kentucky coals; but later investigations haye
developed the fact that here, too, are excep-
tionally good beds, unexcelled, perhaps, by the

Nombers 1 and 2 are analyses of the Indiana
“block” coal; numbers 3 and 4 of the “ Big
Muddy ” coal of Illinois. The analyses were
made in the laboratory of the Kentucky Geo-
logical Survey of carefully averaged samples
coliected in the same manner that the Ken-
tucky coals are sampled.t Special attention is
directed to the analyses of the Coallown and
Wrigatsburg coals. These are what are known
as “‘ blocking” coals, and withstand weather-
ing remarkably well. The Wrightsburg coal is
remarkably good, containing less than three
per cent. of ash, a small proportion of water,
and but little more than one per cent. of sul-
phur. There is reason to hope that the Wrights-
burg and Coaltown coal may prove serviceable
as an iron-making fuel. ‘he Breckenridge
caunel 1s already well known for its remarka-
ble properties. Coal D seems to be the most

most generally wrought throughout the coal |
field. It is the most useful as a household fuel.

Coal B is usually divided about the middle by a
clay parting. The upper sixteen inches serves |
admirably for gas making; several analyses |
show it to contain very little sulphur, anda

large proportion of volatile combustible mat-

ters. Atsome points the coal yields an admi-

rable coke.

TRANSPORTATION.

The coal teld is crossed by three railroads,
and is so drained by several streams that, were
they all prepared for navigation (a work of no
very serious difficulty), no part of it would
suffer for means of transportation. All of the
streams drain toward the Obio River, which
offers cheap transportation to the sea. The
streams that have already been made navigable
for part of their extent are the Green, the Tenn-
essee, and the Cumberland rivers; those streams
whose partial improvement is both feasible and
desirable are the Tradewater and Pond rivers,
Rough Creek, Nolin River, Muddy River and
Bear Creek. The Green River and its tributaries

are navigable by locks and dams for two hun-
dred and sixty-eight miles. The Tennessee is
navigable from its mouth to Florence, Alabama,
a distance of about two bundred and fifty

miles ; and the Cumberland River is navigable
from its mouth toa point about oné hundred
miles above Nashville. Regular lines of steamcrs
ply on these rivers. Large shipments of coal
are sent south by the Tennessee River. The
Pond River flows into the Green River, and dur-
ing high stages of water is navigable for about
fifteen miles; it may be rendered navigable by
a system of Iccks and dams as far up as
Bakersport, a distance of about thirty miles. !
The Tradewater River is ascended by light
draught boats during the spring freshets as far
up as Belleville ; it is quite practicable for it to
be rendered navigable for forty miles or more.
Prior to the building of the Louisville, Paducah,
and Southwestern Railroad, Rough Creek
(which empties into Green River), was regularly
plied by light draught steamers as far up as
Hartford, Ohio county, having been rendered
navigable by locks and dame. It will be seen
that it is a mere question of enterprise whether
or not the streams may be used as roads for
carrying out produce, &c. The railways are the
St. Louis and Southeastern Railway (connecting
St. Louis, Mo., and Nashville, Tenn.), which
passes north and south through Henderson,
Webster, Hopkinsand Christian counties; the
Evansville, Owensboro’ and Nashville Railroad
{not yet completed), which (so fur as built)
passes north and south through Daviess and
McLean counties into Muhlenburg county;
and the Louisville, Paducah and Southwestern
Railroad, which passes westwardly through
Grayson, Ohio, Muhlenburg, Hopkins and
Caldwell counties, intersecting the north and
south running railroads; one at Owensboro’
Junction, and the other at Nortonville. The
total number of miles of railroads in the coal
fields is about one hundred and eighty-five.
Thus it will be seen that transportation is, or
can easily be, furnished to nearly all of the
workable coal beds. The Green, Pond and Trade-
water rivers and their tributaries (some of them
of considerable size), and Rough Creek drain a
large portion of the coal field, while other por-
tions are reached by the several railroads. Some
of the best coals are found on the Green and
Tradewater rivers, but as yet comparatively
little mining has been done in them. So far
nearly all of the important mines have been
opened along the paths of the railroads, a plan
which has resulted in giving them a more
rapid, although more costly, transportation
than was offered by the rivers.
NUMBER OF COAL MINES, &C.

In all there are about thirty collieries of im-
portance in the coal field. The mines are
worked on a general plan modeled on the post
and stal] system. About fifteen of them are
located slong the Louisville, Paducah, and
Southwestern Railroad ; six along the St. Louis
and Southeastern Railway; and two on the
Evansville, Owensboro’, and Nashville Rail-
road. Others are located in the neighborhood
of Owensboro’, bordering the Onio River; at
Airdrie on the Green River; and several in
Crittenden and Union countries, in the vicinity

of Caseyville.

The Coal Trade.—Itis difficult to determine
the precise amount of coal raised in this field,
as the records sre very imperfect. The product
of the Kentucky collieries, however, has oper-
ated greatly in regulating the amount of
foreign coal brought into the State and into
the Southern markets. Louisville, of the home
markets, has especially been benefited by
these mines, as the following will show:
In the winter of 1871-72, on account of low
water, the Pittsburgh coal reached the price of
$7 per load of twenty-five bushels, while the
Kentucky coal sold at $5 and $5°50 per load.*
In the succeeding winter (1872-’73) the Ohio
River was again at a low stage ; but the highest
price paid for Pittsburgh coal was $5, the
average being $4°5C, the Kentucky article sell-
ing at $4°50 and $4 per load. In the winter of
1873-'74, there was a good stage of water in
the Ohio River, and at the same time plenty of
Kentucky coal, and the Pittsburgh coal sold
at $3°50 and $4 per load. In 1874~—’75 there was
a still greater reduction in prices, the Pennsyl-
vania coal selling at $3,'and that from Kentucky
at $275 per load. This season the Kentucky
colhheries have suffered in common with those
of other regions, and also from internal com-

hieations ; hence their product may fall be-
nind that of former seasons, or at most, not
go beyond it. According to the census reports
of 1870, when few collieries were in operation
in this field, the production of the mines
amounted to about 115,004 tons of coal, of
which 67,466 tons were raised in Union county,
and 23,600 tonsin Crittenden county. The prod-
uct of the mines on the Louisville, Paducah,
and Southwestern Railroad alone, from Uctober,
1872, to October, 1874, amounted to 270,000
tons,t and at least half as much more may be
estimated for the product of the other mines
for that time, placing the probable product at
405,000 tons.

(To be continued.)

* A ton of coal contains about twenty-five bushels.

+A number of the largest collieries were not in
operation until 1873, hence for some of them the
etatement does not represent a business of two

ears. Scarcely any of the mires had been opened
ear than two years when the statistics were ob-
tained.

The Five Per Cent. Collection Clause in
Promissory Notes.

Judge Sharswood, of the Pennsylvania Su-
preme Coart, has just rendered a decision that
is of much interest to business men as ft in-
volves the validity of indorsements of prom is
sory notes containing what is known as the five
per cent. collection clause. As the decision is
of so much importance we give it in full. The
case was Woods vs. North, error to Common
Pleas, Huntingdon county :

It is a necessary quality of negotiable paper
that it should be simple, certain, uncondi-
tional, not subject to any contingency. It
would be a mere affectation of learning to cite
the elementary treatises and the decided cases
which have established this principle. It is
very important to the commercial community
that it should be maintained in all its rigor.
Applying it to the note sued upon in this case
we are of opinion that it violates this rule. If
it had been made payable at 60 days, with 5
per cert., it would have been objectionable as
usurious on its face. It would not, however,
on that account have invalidated the note or
destroyed its negotiability. A negotiable note
may be made psyable, with imterest, trom a
state, and if more than lawful interest is stipu-
ated for, it does not in Pennsylvania make the
contract void, but only the usury. Hence svch
a note is sufficiently certain. It is payable at
maturity, with lawful interest. But in the pa-
per now in question there enters as to the
amount an undoubted element of uncertuinty.
It is a mistake to suppose that if the note was
unpaid at maturity the 5 per cent. would be
payable to the holder by the parties, It
must go into the hands of an attorney for
collection. It is not a sum necessarily psy-
able. The phrase ‘collection fee’ nec-
essarily implies this. Not only so, but this
amount of percentage cannot be arbitrarily de-
termined by the parties. It must be what
would only be a reasonable compensation to an
attorney for collection. This, in reason and
the usage of the legal profession, depends upon
thé amount of the note. Five per cent. would
probably ve considered, by a jury, a8 a reason-
able compensation upon the collection of a
note of three bundred and seventy-seven
dollars. But if it were three thousand dollars,
they would probably think otherwise, and cer-
tainly so if it were thirty thousand dollars.
Now, then, can this note be said to be certain
as to its ameunt, or that amount unaffected by
any contingency ?

Interest and cost of protest, after non-pay-
ment at maturity, are necessary legal incidents
of the contract, and the insertion of them in
the body of the note would not affect its negu-
tiability, Neither dces a clause waving exemp-
tion, for that in no way touches the eimplicity
and certainty of the paper. But a collateral
agreement, as here, depending, too, as it does,
upon its reasonableness, to Le determined by
the jury, is entirely different. It may be well
characterized, as an agreement to confess a
Judgment was by Chief Justice Gibson, as
“luggage,’’ which negotiable paper, riding, as
tdoes,on the wings of the wind, is not a
courier to carry. If this collateral agreement
may be introduced with impunity, what may
not be? It is the first step in the wrong direc-
tion which costs. These instruments may
come lumbered up with all sorts of stipulations
and all sorts of ¢ifficulties, contention and liti-
gation. It is the best rule obsta principiis.
Judgment reversed.

Scientific and Technical Notes.

Mr. Loiing Pickering, a San Francisco jour-
palist, has secured a patent upon a
TYPOGRAPHICAL TRANSMITTER FOR AUTOMATIC

TELEGRAPHS,

which is said to have great practical value.
The patent covers a method for converting
type forms and other raised or engraved char-
acters, into transmitting plates, so that by
causing thé contact points of one or mere tele-
graphic wires to trayerse the surface in parallel
and approximate lines, the inventor can auto-
matically transmit the matter represented by
said forms to distant stations, where the let-
ters or characters can be reproduced by a suit-
able recording instrument. The principle ob-
ject of the invention is to permit the conversion
of newspaper forms into telegraphic transmit-
ters, in a cheap, simple and convenient manner,
80 that a fac-simile copy of the newspaper can
be automatically transmitted over telegraphic
wires in a speedy and convenient manner. As
the faces of the type used in newsp»per print-
wg are usually quite small, when compared
with the types heretofore used in automatic
elegraphing, a peculiar arrangement or ad-
austment of the contact points is necessary
vhere several wires are used, in order to permit
be several points to trace in lines sufficiently
‘lose together to reproduce the outline of the
letter. Mr. Pickering’s method of arranging
these points in order to accomplish the object
mentioned, together with the manner of pre-
paring and operating the improved typographi-
cal transmitter, are both ingenious and simple.
The ivvention can be applied to either curved
or flat type forms. A stereotype cast is taken
from the ordinary newspaper form. The
spaces between the types on the plate are filled
with some non-conducting material, so as to
insulate the faces of the type from one another

avdrender the surface smooth and even. A/|

filling of shellac, or avy other non-conducting
substance of the consistency of putty, such as
can be applied readily, either warm or cold,
willanswer. After the filling and smoothing
has been completed, tbe faves of the types can
be slightly eand-papered to free them from any
adbering portion of the substance. The type
plate can then be put in circulation by con-
nectit g one of the battery wires with it. This
gives a metallic type plate in which the sur-
faces of the type are exposed in regular order,

The Patent Automatic Stokers

which were shown by Dillwyn Smith at the Centennial Exhibition in the British section, and ubtained the medal and highest award,
are now offered to the users of steam in the United States, by the ‘‘ United States Automatic Stoker Co.,” under a license from
Dillwyn Smith, for use on land boilers, with full confidence that the satisfactory results obtained in Great Britain and on the Con-
tinent of Europe (where over 1200 of them are in use), will be fully realized here. Some of these results are: The generation of
from 25 per cent. and upward of steam from a given grate surface above what is obtained from the same quality of fuel fed by hand.
The lessening of the cost of steam from 10 to 30 per cent. from being able with the Stokers to properly burn a lower priced fuel.
The entire removal of the smoke nuisance. The lessening of the labor of the fireman. Their use also materially reduces the tem-

rature of the fire room and also prevents the injury to the boiler caused by the contraction and expansion of the plates resulting

just as the types were originally set up, and
with which it is only necessary to make the
proper connections to transmit a fuc-sintile
cory to tke opposite end of the contact wire or
wires. The line over which the matter thus
produced is to be transmitted is composed of
several parallel wires. Each wire has a point
or style at each end. The several poiuts are
then arranged ina spiral manner so that they
will trace in lines close together, thus practi-
cally forming a brush which sweeps over the
face of a cylinder or flat plate at cach end of the
line, accordlig to the form of matter to be
transmitted. The prepared plate is then
mounted upon a suitable support—usually a
cylinder—at one end of the line, and put in the
electric circuit, while a similar cylinder at the
opposite end of the line, around which sensi-
tive paper has been wrapped, is also mounted
80 as to be swept by the other set of fingers.
The cylinders are then rotated synchronously
by suitable means, so that the fingers at one end
will sweep over the surface of the types. Each
time a finger comes in contact with a type face
the electric circuit is completed and the corre-
sponding figure at the opposite end of the wire
makes a corresponding mark on the sensitive
paper, but when the finger leaves the type face
the contact is broken and the fingers are nega-
tive. Either the cylinders can be moved end-
wise by suitable means under the fingers, or the
fingers can be moved over the cylinders; in
either case a few rotations of the cylinders
completes the transmission, and the entire
newspaper or other form 1s reproduced in exact
fac-simile upon the sensitive paper st the other
end of the line. This system is quite simple,
and a whole newspaper page can be transmitted
by telegraph in from fifteen minutes to half an
hour, delivering the copy ready for the printers,
so that there is no necessity of copying it
again.
The first attempt at

__. TRANSMITTING POWER BY WIRE ROPES
was made by the brothers Hirn, 1850, at a calico
weaving establishment, rear Colmar, Switzer-
land. An immense mass of scattered buildings
seemed to forbid the possibility of using them,
and yet placing the motive power at any one
point. In this emergency they first tried the
method of force transmission, using a riveted
steel ribbon to each building from the engine
house. The steel bands were about 24 inches
wide by one-fifth of an inch thick, and ran on
wood-faced drums. This presented two incon-
ventences ; 1n the first place, on account of its
considerable surface, the band was liable to be
agitated by the wind ; and, secondly, it soon be-
came worn and injured at the points where it
was riveted. It served, however, very well for
eighteen months to transmit 12 horse-power to
a distance of 80 meters. The success of the
principle was complete, but much remained to
be done before the wire rope and the rubber or
leather lined driving wheel solved all difficulty,
and brought the principle to a practical reality.
The number of applications of this method of
transmitting power increased very rapidly. At
the end of 1859 there were but few applica-
tions in use. In 1862 there are known to have
been about 400, and in 1867 about 800. At the
present time there are several thousand in suc-
cessful operation. In 1864 a terrible explosion
occurred, almost entirely destroying the great
powder mill at Ockhta, situated six miles from
St. Petersburg, Russia. The whole establish-
ment was rebuilt. After studying many com-
binations, an artillery officer proposed to profit
by the resources which the telodynamic cables
offered to engineers, and thus to realize the
only combination which could prove successful
in a powder mill, namely, a great distance be-
tween the buildings, so that the explosion of
ove should not entail ruin of the rest. The
new establishment, which went into operation
in 1876, consists of thirty-four different work-
shops or labaratories, to which motive power
is transmitted by means of wire ropes driven
by three turbines, thus distributing a total of
274 horse-power along a line nearly a mile in
length. The largest transmission is that em-
ployed to utilize the falls of the Rhine, near
Schaffhausen, in Switzerland. Advantage was
taken of the rapids at one side to put in anum-
ber of turbines, aggregating in all 600 horse-
power. As the steep, rocky banks forbade the
erection of any factories in the immediate
vicinity, the entire power was transferred diag-
onally across the stream to the town, about a
mile further down, and there distributed, cer-
tain rocks in the water being made use of to
set up the required intermediate stations. In
the industries we frequently meet with a simt-
lar case. Many valuabie sites for water-power
are Jying idle in this country for want of build-
ing room in their immediate vicinity. New
England especially abounds with them. Coal
being so dear there, their value is all the greater,
Since the water can only be led down hill
in certain directions, the cost of a canal or
flame would in most cases come too bigh, so
the power remains unimproved. By wire repes,
however, we can convey the power of a turbine
or water-wheel in any direction, both up und
down stream; up an ascent to the top of the
bank or down a slope. The power need not be
confined to one factcry, but may be distrib-
uted among a dozen if necessary, located so as
to suit their particular busiuess, and not to
suit the oftentimes inconvenient location of a
canal. Thus, by means of the trausmissien of
power wire ropes, we may utilize all this power
that is now being wasted, and devote it toa
useful purpose.

Father Secchi, writing to a friend in Belgium,
alludes in striking terms to the remarkable con-
nection between the magnetism of the earth
and the changes of the weather. He says that
the variations shown by the magnetic instra-

ments are themselves sufficient to indicate the
state of the sky. Even where there is no great
movement of the barometer, following such
magouetic disturbances, there are, especially in
summer, changes of the wind and sometimes

storms.

AGENCY.

The circulation of The Iron Age is more'than double that of any other journal of its class in the world.

Establishe:lin 1855 under the name of The Hardware Man’s Newspaper, changed in 1859 to The Iron Age, it is
the oldest publication of its class in the world. The next in age is the Zronmonger of London, established in 1859.
Until 1870 The Lron Age was the only publication of its class in the United States.

The largest newspaper in the world is The /ron Age, each number of which is much larger than the London
Times, and contains over 25 per cent. mure matter than a copy of Harper’s Magazine.

In the field which The Iron Age occupied twenty-two years ago it has been steadily growing in favor from year
to year, and is to-day practically without competition. The same energy, liberality and skill that have placed it inthe
front rank of trade journalism will inthe future be employed more freely than ever to malotain and advance the high
position it has gained.

N VIEW of the rapid development of the export trade of the United

States in Machinery, Tools, Hardware, House Furnishing Goods, and other

manufactures of Metals, we invite the attention of the trade in foreign
countries to The Tren Age, believing it will be found of immediate practical
value to all who are interested in American products, machinery or methods
of manufacture.
tains more than 500 advertisements of the leading manufacturers and mer-
chants in theUnited States ; and no person engaged in any branch of the Metal
Trades in any part of the world can fail to find notices of new articles which
can be successfully introduced into his trade, as well as the names and ad-
dresses of makers of almost every article of American Hardware.

The reputation for superior quality of American Hardware, Machinery and
Tools is world-wide ; and the condition of trade in this country for the past few
years has forced manufacturers to seek a foreign outlet for their goods, at the
same time that it has enabled them to cheapen their products to a point which
admits of exportation to many markets at prices to compete with articles of
foreign manufacture. Large quantities are now sent to almost all civilized
countries of the world, and especially to England and her colonies, Russia,
Central and South America, the West Indies, and to nearly all markets hereto-
fore consuming the manufactured products of Great Britain and the continent.
American manufacturers are therefore making greater efforts at this time

Each issue, in addition to its other valuable features, con-

to handle their goods.

The Iron Age is the only acknowledged representative of the Hardware,
Iron and Metal trades of America, nearly every member of which is a sub-
scriber to it. Its foreign circulation already includes regular subscribers in
Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzer-

South Wales.

Believing that a very large increase in our foreign circulation will be se-
cured by merely placing copies of Zhe Zron Age in the hands of those who
need it, we have taken measures to bring it to the personal notice of all who

We will, therefore, be under great obligations to anyone in this or any other
country who will furnish us with one or more names of foreign manufacturers
or dealers in Metal goods. We would also like particulars concerning foreign
directories. Any information that will lead to the extension or improvement
of our lists will be liberally paid for.

As all the regular advertisements appear in the three editions, persons
who desire the paper chiefly as a means of learning the names and addresses
of American manufacturers will find the Monthly answer their purpose at a

very slight expense.
Specimen copies will be mailed free of charge to any part of the world.

| _ En vue du développement rapide aux Etats-Unis du commerce

ménage et autres objets métalliques, nous appelons l’attention
des gens du métier 4 l’étranger sur notre publication “THB
IRON AGE,” dans la certitude que tous ceux qui s'‘intéressent

que ce soit, ne peut manquer de trouver des annonces d’articles

ainsi que le nom et l’adresse des fabricants de presque tous lea

| articles de Ferronnerie américaine,

La réputation de supériorité des Américains pour la Quincaille-
rie, les Machines et les Outils est universelle, et la condition des
affaires dans ce pays-ci pendant ces derniéres années a forcé les
fabricants a chercher a l’étranger un écoulement pour leurs pro-
duits, tout en les mettant 4 méme de baisser leurs prix de maniére
a permettre l'importation de leurs produits dans beaucoup de

| localités et de faire concurrence aux articles de fabrication étran
gere.

On en expédie maintenant de grandes quantités dans presque
tous les pays civilisés du monde et surtout en Angleterre et dans
ses colonies, en Russie, dans l’'Amérique Centrale et dans celle du
Sud, aux Antiiles etsur presque tous les marchés, qui jusqu’d
présent ont consommé les produits des fabriques de Ila Grande-
Bretagne et du Continent

Aussi les fabricants américains font-ile maintenant de plus
grands efforts que jamais pour introduire leurs produits fabriqués
a l’étranger et on les trouvera préts 4 offrir des conditions avanta-
geuses aux maisons étrangéres responsables, qui désireraient pia-
cer leurs marchandises.

‘**THE IRON AGE” est le seul représentant accrédité du Com-
merce de la Quincaillerie, de la Ferronnerie et des Métaux en
Amérique, et il compte parmi ses abonnés presque la totalité des

THE L£RON AGE.

June 28, 1877,

The Hardware Mercantile Association.

In our report of the second day’s proceedings
of the National Association of Stove Manufac-
turers, published on another page, it will be seen
that the Association indorsed what is known as

the Hardware Mercantile Association, having
its headquarters at 72 Dearborn street, Chicago,
and that a committee appointed to consider its
claims to the favor of the stove makers, rec-
ommended that it receive their patronage, For
the information of such of our readers as are
not familiar with this system, we have obtained
from Mr. De Berard, the manager, the follow-
ing information, which will explain the tystem :

THE HARDWARE MERCANTILE ASSOCIATION,

The Association was organized to protect the
interests of the hardware and stove trades by
enabling them to restrict to its proper limits
the credit of unworthy and _ irresponsible
dealers,

The system adopted by the Association is
based upon the assumption that the degree of
credit to which a deuler is entitled should be
decided principally by his promptitude of pay-
ment, as aflording an accurate test of his busi-
ness qualifications and financial condition. To
derive this valuable knowledge, no plan can be
more effective than a regular avd systematic
communication with the merchants from whom
the dealer is constantly buying, the only per-
sons possessing it in fullness, for, from their
combined experience, accurate information can
be obtained concerning every dealer’s busincss
habits.

This thorough and systematic collection of
business experience, through the co-operation
of members, is. the principal feature in this
system, but while prominence is given to
promptness of payment as the soundest basis
of credit, the considerations of general reputa-
tion, honesty and financial soundness are not
overlooked. The system of local correspond-
ents, while liable to abuse and defective in
many important particulars, is «till possessed
of valuable features, and corrected and amended
by the more explicit and reliable tnformation
derived from members of the Association, can
be made of great assistance in determining
credit. This feature has, therefore, been added
to that of members’ reports, and a complete
system of correspondents established through-
out the entire United States, through which
members can obtain detailed reports concerning
any of their customers, embodying the above
mentioned considerations to the extent of
which the system is capable.

That the results of this Association’s system
may be in convenient shape for reference, it is
proposed to issue an annual report, containing
an accurate and complete list of the dealers in
hardware, stoves and tinware in the United
States, with their estimated capital and credit
ratings, the former derived from local corre
spondents, and the latter, especially adapted to
this system, from the business experience of
merchants. The first annual report is now
ready for delivery ; it is a handsome volume of
360 pages, 71¢x91¢ inches in size, printed on
heavy tinted paper, bound in half Russia, with
green sides; the margins are made of uncom-
mou width, to permit the reports upon the
semi-monthly report sheets to be entered
after the respective rames, thus enabling each
member to preserve an accurate recora of any
fluctuations in his customers credit. Upon re-
ceipt of a request to that effect, the first annual
report will be forwarded for inspection to any
wholesale dealer in hardware, stoves, iron, &c.,
but will not be sold under any circumstance
except to those joining this Association. An
edition of the first annual report has been pre-
pared especially for the use of traveling men,
containing the same matter as the large edition,
but of a very convenient pocket size, about 8
inches thick, 3 inches wide and 7 inches long,
printed on thin paper, and bound in flexi ble
leather. The annual cost of membership of
this Association is as follows:

For the Annual Report, Semi-Monthly Report

Sheets, and Detailed Reports (unlimited. } ..$60°00
For the Pocket Edition Annual Report, wit

oat reports, sheets, &c., (to members ouly) . 15°00

It is claimed for this system :

1st. That the information furnished is ex-
plicit; the reports are based not upon pre-
carious and unreliable ‘* general report,’’ but
upon definite and particular information of a
character beyond question of the utmost im-
portance, and of the most exact nature, being
derived from actual experience.

2d. Thut it is prompt; the weakness or mis-
management of a customer is instartly laid
bare at its very begiuning, and caution induced
in place of confidence, resulting in an imme-
diate curtailment of the party’s credit, and in
forcing him to adopt the proper policy of con-
traction and payment of debts, in place of that
of expansion and extension of credit, su fre-
queatly adopted with the worst results,

3d. That it will exert a powerful beneficial
effect upon the trade at Jarge, as the knowledge
that a close and effective surveillance is exer-
cised upon their credit, will operate strongly to
induce the individual members to be cautions
in their purchases and prompt in their pay-
ments. That large class, also, who, while
tinancially sound, conceive their credit so good
as to be incapable of injury from any abuse to
which they may subject it, will speedily be
convinced of their error.

4th. That it will benefit prompt paying and
responsible retail dealers; the most ruinous
competition which this class is obliged to sus-
tain is that of incapable, dishonest or bankrupt
competitors, who through their incapacity, or
their efforts to arrest impending disaster, com-
pel their capable and honest neighbor to sell at
a loss, or lose his trade entirely, thereby de-
priving him of his profit and impairing bis
capital, rendering bis business ability and in-
tegrity of no avail, and reducing him to their
own level. By tending to restrain the credit of
these unworthy and incapable dealers within
its proper limits, thereby relieving bonorable

n° prompt paying dealers of an abnormal and

unjust competition, this system will greatly
benefit the latter class,

5th. Independent of the foregoing considera-
tions, it is rcasonable to uffirm that an organi-

zation formed especially to further the interests
of one line of business and devoted to that «x-
clusively, can attain a bigher uegree of effi-
ciency than others that embrace all lines, and
fail ol their object through cumbrousness and
the unwieldy extension inseparable from dif-
fering interests.

Another Pipe Line to Tidewater.—
The Manufacturing and Trade Review gives the
following account of the latest scheme for a pipe
line: A pipe line is contemplated between
Buffalo and New York to connect with the one
building between Clarion and Buffalo. The
bill has passed two readings of ths New York
Legislature, which indicates its finel passage.
The Relief Pipe Line, as it is called, is backed
by the Bo-ton men connected with the Union
Pacific, such as Messrs. Dexterand Elisha Atkins
and two of the Ames family. ‘The iron pipes
used in these long lin:s are usually four inches
in diameter. They are connected by screw
joints, and are laid upon the surface of the
ground, except when they pass through culti-
vated fields. In the latter case they are sunk
out of the way of the plow. Pipe lines make
no account of inequalities of the surface, except,
of course, that it is more convenient and takes
less pipe to go wpon a level. There is no
grading or tunneling ortrestling to be done,
exceptin few unusual rough places. The pipe
costs about 60 cents a foot, and can be Jaid
very rapidly, as the picces have only to be
screwed together; but the whole cost complete
will be about $5000 per mile. The oil stations
are on the average about tweive miles apart.
Each is supplied with a tank, an engine and
force pump, and the plan adopted for conveying
the oil is to force it from one tank to another,
A little more power is required in cold weather
to force a given amount a given distance than
in warm weather, as the oil becomes chilled.
Two men are sufficient at each station or tank,
if one is a telegraph operator, as there is a wire
along the whole line and an operator at each
station, to give information if anything happens
or Is needed at any point between the tanks.
One watchman is usually seafficient for each 10
miles. He walks back and forth each day over
bis beat.

The Ore Trade of the Western Lakes.
—Cleveland.—The Review gives the following:
** Last week there were 23,079 tons of iron ore re-
ceived at this port, 766 being from the Lake
Champlain district and 22,313 from the Lake Sa-
perior region. The previous receipts were 88,550
tons, making a total of 111,629 during the sea-
son, 8042 tons of which came from tbe Cham-
plain district, and the remainder from Lake
Superior.” Lake Superior.—The following
table condensed from the Mining Journal, ex-
hibits the shipments from Lake Superior for

Five hundred tons of steel rails bave been
ordered for the Vicksburg and Meridian Rail-
road, and a number of new cars will soon be
on the road. A considerable amouut of Eng-
lish iron rail is now doing faithful servicé on the
line, which was put there 37 years ago, and
which bas, during that time, worn down from
56 to 39 pounds per yard without breaking or
laminating. Such rails are not often made
nowadays. The company have Baldwin loco-
motives iv their service which have been running
for from 15 to 17 years, but they have had good
eare. The sleeping cars used are of the com-
pany’s own make.

Ramsey's Gar Truck
Shifting Apparatus,

The advantages gained by using Ramsey’s Car
Truck Shifting Apparatus, are as follows :

1st.—The power required to run a car on the level
track is sufficient to separate the trucks from a car

2d—It avoids twisting or straining the car frames.
3d.—The manufacturing cost of this Shifting Ap-
us will not exceed one hundred dollars. And
each one is capable of deing more work with less
strain to the car, and without the assistance of an
extra Steam Engine, than a Steam Hoist, costing
twelve thousand dollars.
each one of the principal stations where car
wheels are regularly tested to see how they stand the
journey, a switch is ey | having a depression or
pit about eighteen inches deep, with gentle inclines
ateach end, and on each side a narrow track, re-
maining on the tevel, upon which is small but
strong trucks, designed to carry supporting beams
or cross- extenaing from one to the other across
the pit, tor the purpose of bearing the car body,
_ e the trucks run down the incline rails to the
t.

Trade Report.

Office of Tuk [Ron AGE. t
WEDNESDAY EvENtINe, June 27, 1877. |}

The past week has been without feature of
general interest in the local financial markets.
Money is very abundant, and call loans are
easily had at 1 @ 2 per cent. The rate of
discount on business paper is 3 @ 4 per
eent.

The gold market has been somewhat sensi-
tive to foreign news, but the fluctuations have
been within the fractions. The daily range
of the premium is shown in the following
table ;

The market for government bonds has been
strong during the week, and the new 444 per
cent. bonds have advanced. Thus far the
popular subscription has realized the expecta-
tions of the Treasury Department. Investment
securities are dull, but there isa slightly in
creased firmness in railway mortgayes.

The stock market has b_en alternately heavy
and strong. The principal activity has been m
Lake Shore, Delaware, Lackawanna and West-
ern, New York Central, Morris and Essex,
Western Union, Delaware and Hudson and
Michigan Central.

The principal change in the bank averages is
a decrease of $2,145,100 {n specie; the effect
on the reserve of this loss is modified by an in-
crease of $1,892,000 in legal tender notes. The
total reserve is down $251,100, while the sur-
plus reserve for the additional reason of an in-
crease in deposit liabilities is down $413,675 ; it
is, however, $18,635,575, which is large even
for this season of the year. The following is a
comparison of the bank averages for the past
two weeks:

GENERAL HARDWARE.

Although at this season little activity is ex-
pected in business circles, considerable prep-
aration for the fall trade is going on, and, &s
will be seen below, some of the new prices
have already been determined.

-Henry Disston & Sons have organized a File
company, under the style of the Henry Disston
& Sons File Company, Limited. They will
manufacture Files of every description at the
branch works of H. D. & Sons, at Tacony, Pa.
Hamilton Disston is president of the com-
pany.

At a meeting of the Atlantic States Nail As-
sociation, held in this city last weck, it was
concluded to disband the Association. This
action, we are informed, was taken on account
of similar action by the Western Nail Associ-
atior. It is not, however, anticipated that
this course can possibiy effect lower prices than
are ruling at present, as at the minimum price
at which Nails haye been lately sold no possible
margin of profit has remained to the makers.
We are informed that some mills, both East
and West, have already shut down for the
summer months, and this action will, without
doubt, be followed by many others after the
1st proximo. The demand for Nails is not as
active as might be expected when the low
price at which the goods are offered is taken
into consideration. We quote 10d. at $2°40
nominally, but this price is easily shaded for a
fair sized order.

The Tack manufacturers held a meeting at
Boston tu day, and the Tinware Manufacturers’
Association held their semi-annual meeting
in this city. Up to the close of business, the
action, if any, taken at either of these meet-
ings, had not transpired.

The Russell & Erwin Mfy. Co., as will be
seen by the following circular, have made a
further redaction in the prce of Flat Head
Iron Screws. Up tothe close of business to-
day no notice of any corresponding action on
the part ot the American Screw Co, had been
received by the trade. We are informed, how-
ever, that holders of the American Screw Co.’s
goods are meeting the market :

[Cireular No. 6).
SCREWS.

We hereby annul our circular on Screws,
dated November 9, 1876. Until further notice,
we solicit orders for Flat Head Iron Screws
upon the following terms:

Discount 60, 10 and 5 per cent. from our list,
cash 30 days. No prices guaranteed.

All orders received will be promptly filled
from our stuck so far as possible, and balances
executed at ruling rates at date of shipment.

We also solicit orders for Round Head Iron
and Flat and Round Head Brass, Bronzed and
Piated Screws, all of our own manufacture.

RussE_y & Erwin Mra. Co.

New York, June 21, 1877.

The Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co. will issue,
under date of July 2d, the following circular,
which fully explains itself :

Office of Ruseztyn & Enwin Mra. Co., |
New Bairarn, Conn., July 2, 1877. )
CABINET LOCKS.

Until further notice our discount on Cabinet
Locks will be twenty-five ad cent.; on Cabinet
Lock Keys, five per cent. Terms, cash, subject
to draft at sight after thirty days. A discount
ef two per cent. will be allowed if paid within

thirty dsys. To parties whose purchases of
these goods amount to $200, net, during the
season, ending December 31, 1877, the dis-
count will be 25 and 5 per "cent. To those
whose purchases amount to $500 in same sea-
son, the dis :ount wili be 25 and 10 per cent.
To parties who may purchase either of above

We are informed that the price of Eagle and

will be discount 25 per cent., instead of 25 and
5 per cent. as formerly.

The Bridgewater Iron Co. are about to place
on the market a handsome line of Horse Naile.
These goods are made by anew machine owned
by the company, and which makes two Nails ct
each revolution, the Nails coming from the ma-
chine pointed and finished ready for use. The
iron used is made In a Siemens-Martin furnace,
and the company claim that for this special
purpose it is better than the best Norway iron.
We have seen samples of the goods which com-
pare favorably in points of finish and tough-
ness with any similar goods on the market.
The list and discounts for these Nails is not yet
issued. We hope to present it in an early issue.
George B. Stetson, No. 73 Pearl street, is the
company’s agent in this city.

An unfortunate error appeared in the adver-
tisement of Brown & Curtis, of Cleveland, O.,
in our issue of last week. The price of their
patent Wrought Iron Shear, which is illus-
trated in the advertisement referred to, is $20,
and not $12, as was printed.

We invite the attention of tke trade to the
advertisement of T. McAvity & Sons, of St.
John, N. B., which appears among ‘Special
Notices” on the opposite page. They request
their correspondents to forward them cata-
logues aud price lists, as everything of that
kind which they had was lost in the late fire.
They inform us that oaly two small up-town
Hardware stores escaped the fire.

We print below the revised discounts of H.

Ynapin’s Sons, issued under date of 13th in-
stant, and to apply to their catalogue of Janu-
ary, 1874. The changes in prices are all re-
ductions, and are marked by an asterisk.

IDNEY SHEPARD & Co.,

June Ist, 1877. Buffalo, N. Y.

A. G. Hatry, Pittsburgh, Pa., has issued the
following circular :

PITTSBURGH, June 21, 1877.

Since the issue of my last circular the prices
of Nails and Iron have not improved, and may
be quoted a shade lower. These prices are not
remunerative to the manufacturers, and parties
desiring to purchase will do well to stock up.
I quote the market about as follows :

Iron, assorted orders, ms 1“
Nails, “ for 102.

Rates of freight on Nelle equalized with the
nearest mill.

Ghost Been, hght gauges, 3 1-10 rates for No. %4 ag a

Plate Iron, 1-8, 3-16 and in. thick, 2%c. per Ib.

Tool Steel, 12¢. per Ib.
Machinery Steel, 8c. per Ib,
Tire Steel, fc. per Ib,
Window Glass, 70 per cent. discount from list.
Borax, ref , in cases, 100 Ibs , 114Wc.
we oe barrels, 300 Ibe., 10¢.
Babbit Metal, 8 to 50c. per lb., according to quality.

Above prices are 60 days, or 2 per cent for
cash.

I would also call the attention of the trade to
the fact *t that all the Nails I sell are assorted by
Coyne’s Patent Automatic Nail Picker, which
is being rapidly adopted by the Nail manufac-
turers. All Nail factories having these ma-
chines give to their customere an article which
:s free from dust, slivers, headless or imperfect
Nails; and every Nail in the kegs can be used,
and the consumer gains at least three pounds
in each keg, which he has heretofore got iz
wortiuless scrap and dirt.

Always ask for Coyne’s Machine Picked Nails.

Special prices given on application. Soliciting
a share of your patronage, I remain,
Yours, a A. G. Hatry.

BRITISH IRON MARKET.
(Specially reported by cable for The Iron Age.)
WEDNEsDAY, June 27, 1877.
Scotch Pig.—The sales of Scotch Iron dur-
ing the week show a very large increase over
the corresponding period of last year. The
following are makers’ quotations ;

Manufactured Iron and Rails are with-
out noteworthy feature.
>

IRON.

American Pig.—The ILron market is dull
and depressed, with a tendency to lower
prices. Since our last report we hear of sales
of 1000 tons Thomas on the basis of $19 for No.
1. Sales are also reported of 200 tons Allen-
town at $18°50, and 100 tons Crane or private

terms. We quote: Foundry No. 1, $18 @ $19 ;
Foundry No. 2, $17 @ $18; Gray Forge, $16 @
$17.

Scotch Pig.—There is no change to note in
the condition of the market. Since our last,
300 tons Scotch Iron arrived here in transit for
Canada. The only sales reported are the usual
small lots required for immediate consumption.
We quote: Glengarnock, $25°50 @ dy Eglin-
ton, $24°50; and Coltness, $27 @ $27-

Rails.—Transactious in Rails are ‘ wie and
far between.”’ The sale of 200 tons Iron is re-
ported on private terms. We quote Steel
Rails, at Mill, $45 @ $47, and Iron, $33 @
$36.

Old Rails.—Iu Old Rails there is but little
business ; 200 tons were sold during the week
on terms which have not transpired. We quote
$19 as the nominal price.

Scrap.—This branch of the Iron trade seems
to share in the general depression. Since our
last writing 100 tons No. 1 Wrought Scrap was
sold, delivered in the East, at $24, which is
equivalent to about $22°50 here. This, we
are informed, is the lowest price obtained for
this quality of Iron in many years. We quote
as before, Wrought, from yard, $23 @ $24.

antendpepenn
METALS.

Copper.—Sales for the week sum up on the
spot 400,000 pounds Lake Superior at 19%/c.,
and 200,000 poutds Baltimore at 19c., beside
some lots of the former to arrive till August at
19%,c. Manufacturers are buying sparingly as
the orders for their ~oods are dropping in, but
the market in general, though quiet so close
upon the national holiday, is quite firm. London
is unaltered at £76 for Best Selected, and £69
Chili Bars. Mail advices have been received
from the same quarter up to the 16:h instant.
One of the reports makes the following re-
marks: ‘*On referring to the imports of Cop-
per it will be seen that the quantity for the last
five months, compared with similar periods of
the two previous years, amounts tv several
thousand tons in excess—13,000 tons more than
in 1875, and 11,791 tons over 1876, whereas
the exports have only increased 1044 tons be-
yond those of 1875, and 200 tons in excess of
1876. A fair business has been done ia manu-
factured, but Yellow Metal is slow, and the
limits from India are still muck below sellers’
rates, and as these markets have been well sup-
plied, and it is full early to begin shipping
again, we do not Jook for any improvement
from that quarter, or any other yet awhile. It
should be mentioned, however, that some busi-
ness has been reported during the week in
Wallaroo Copper as high as £81 for spot par-
cels, and holders of the available stock in Lon-
don can for the moment fix any price they
please, since there is no open competition, and
none of this brand distributed about the mar-
ket ; but the present price is{not likely to hold
good for any length of time, for the nearer the
time approaches for the next auction sale, the
less disposition to buy there will be, and cen-
sumers will no doubt strain a point to wait un-
tilthen.” There is still a good sale of manu-
factures, which we quote 3lc. for Sheathing and
32c. for Bolts and Braziers ; New Yellow Metal
Sheathing, 20c.; Yellow Metal Bolts, 25c.; and
Nails, 20c., pet cash.

Tin.—There is still a great want of confi-
dence in the 1mmediate future of this metal
perceptible among us. As an illustration there-
of we may mention that an offer of 15}¢c., gold,
for alot of Australian in this market, lately
arrived, bas been withdrawn. We quote Straits,
with a downward tendency, 16c. @ 16c.,
gold, large lines; English Refined, 16%c. @
164{c.; ditto Common, 1544c. @ 15%c., and
Banca, 18i¢c., all gold. On Friday last London
stood £68.5/ for Straits, and dull; no later
dispatches have reached us since, and the pre-
sumption is that there 1s nochange. Singapore
is unaltered at. $19°50 per picul, with an ex-
change of 4/144. From the Island of Banca
statistical intelligence bas reached us by the
last mail via Holland, to the following effect:
Stock in the island Dec. 31, 1876, 3874 tons;
added up to March 31, 334 tons; shipped to
Jave, 215 tons, leaving an available supply on
March 81 of 3993 tons. Tin Plates.—The de-
mand for the moment is a light one, but prices
are, nevertheless, toleradly well sustained. In

|

England the article,
|} mains strong. We
| dinary brands, larg

as per cable advices, re

quote in gold, per box, or
e lots, as follows: Cbarcoal
Bright, $6°75 ; ditto Ternes, $6 @ $6°25; Coke
Tin, $5°75 @ $5 8744, and ditto Ternes, $5°50.
We bave the following by mail from Liverpool
dated June 14: ‘‘The position remains unal-
tered, makers holding for prices which buyers
decline to pay. There are symptoms of giving
way in a few brands, for which orders have not
been tooked; but, 4s a rule, manufacturers
cannot quote for immediate, and ask the ad-
vance for forward delivery.”

Lead.—A good deal of Common Domestic
Lead has been arriving of late, and is selling in
st.all lots at bottom figures. We quote the
market 5°62!¢c. @ 5°70c., currency, at which it
is steady despite the quiet ruling. Refined is
excessively dull, and freely offered at St. Louis
at 54gc., currency, cqual to 5%c., curreney,
here. From London no later accounts by cable
have reached us, and the inference is that there
is no change. Mail accounts from there have
come to hand dated 16th instant, from which
we extract the following: ‘‘ This metal bas
been very dull, and sellers have given way in
price both for Engli-l: and Foreign. The ex-
ports for the first five months of the year com-
pare favorably with the two previous years,
especially to China, which is 8000 tons, against
6000 tons last year, and there has been more
shipped to the United States, but less to France
and Russia. Import, 43,200 tons, aguinst 31,505
in 1876 and 30,494 in 1875; export, 16,137,
against 15,230 ard 11,001.’ Manufactures of
Lead enjoy atolerably good demond; Bar at
7%v., Pipe at 9c., and Sheet at 9i¢c., less the
usual discount.

Spelter and Zinc.—The same dragging
sort of business hitherto reported by us bas
been going on in Domestic Spelter, which we
quote 5c. @6%{c., currency, as to brand. A
small lot of Foreign has arrived, but no sale
has been effected; we therefore quote the mar-
ket nominally, 6Ke. @ 6%c., gold. There is
nothing new from Europe. Sheet Zinec.—The
market remains devoid of animation at 8c. @
8l¢c., gold, Mosselman, and 7%c. @ 7¥¢c.,
currency, Domestic.

Nickel—Remains neglected at $1 80 @ $1-90,
gold, per pound, as to brand.

Antimony—Has rallied at London, where
the price advanced to £52 for favorite brands,
being an improvement, so the cable informs
us, of £3 in about five days. The large makers
ic England refuse all orders for the present.
The metal is quite scarce here, and dealers
buy up what they cam in small lots, at 12c.,
gold, per pound. At this figure it cannot be
replaced at the ruling value in England above
quoted.

COAL.

The result of to-day’s sale was a pleasant
surprise to agreat many persons in the Coal
trade. During the past week the opinion has
often been expressed that at the auction sale
there would be a decline of from 15 to25 cents
per ton. Many persons, however, felt that the
future course of prices was so uncertain as to
make an opinion of no value whatever. Prac-
tically, the fall of 1244 cents, which took place
atthe sale, can hardly be considered as indi-
eating a change in the market, because the
auctioncer at the sale was a new man, and a
stranger at such a time {3 naturally unable to
obtain as good prices as the regular auctioneer.
We think the results of this sale will put at
rest the doubts ip the minds of many persons
iw regard to whether the last sale was
“*washed.’’ Several of the dailies took up im-
mediately after the last sale the cry of “‘ washed
sale,’ etc.; and attempted to make it appear
that the prices were much above those which
could have been fairly obtained. This was a pop-
uler idea, but the facts in the case do not seem
to warrant it. It must be remembered iu com-
paring prices of the Pittston and Scranton sale
that there is a considerable difference in freight
— cents—which must be taken into account
in considering the prices at the two salee. In
commenting upon the situation Mr. Saward
says: ‘‘Coalis really too cheap to be doing
amyone connected with the trade, even in the
remotest degree, any good. It keeps the miner,
@perator, carrier and dealer in such a condition
that the only outlet for relief would be a gen-
eral suspension for a month. Miners are kept
at work because it costs a certain amount of
money to stop, but we are of opinion that the
losses On sales now belong made ‘in order to
keep customers’ is far greater than the loss
to keep the mines standing idle would be, to
gay nothing of robbing the property.”’

We give this paragraph because it so accur-
ately reflects the feeling among miners, operat-
ors and dealers. Most of them look upon the
present difficulties in the trade as accidental
and unnatural, and feel that the stoppage for
a month would bring the trade into a healthy
condition. We think the trouble is much
deeper, and that the cure must be effected by
radical means, capable of reaching the causes,
which for so many years have kept the Coal
trade io an abnormal condition. We are also
indebted to Mr. Siward for the following re-
port of the sale In which the averages are ob-
tained from both quantity and price.

OLD METALS, PAPER STOCK, Ke.

The Old Metal market is still without any
activity, and dealers are accumulating stocks
without much prospect of soon selling them.

to prices. Our qnotations remain nominally
unchanged. We quote the following as the

PHILADELPHIA.
Office of The Iron Age, 220 Sonth Fourth St., }
PHILADELPHIA, June 27, 1877.
The weather has been cool and pleasant for
some days, but everybody about this time
seems like taking a holiday. The railways are
offering special inducements, the opening trip
of the season being by the Bound Brook route
to Long Branch, for $1°50 the round trip. This
new route is becoming very popular ; itis a good
road, with excellent equipments, passing
through a magnificent country, singularly free
from dust, and being a shorter route makes
quicker time to New York than other roads.
They are also said to be very prompt and
obliging in moving freight, and the patrons of
the road express themselves as highly pleased
with its management. As it becomes better
known it will doubtless meet with an increasing
business, of which it already has a large share.
The announcement of the satisfactory ar-
rangement for payment of interest due on lst
of July on the Reading bonds, and the recent
favorable settlement of the Néw Jersey Cen-
tral and Lehigh Navigation Co.’s dispute, ap-
pear to have had a good effect generally, and
there are reasons to believe that under the close
economy with which most of the roads are now
being managed, they will be enabled to some
extent at least to retrieve their former errors.
It is expected that arrangements will be made
to take both the New Jersey Central and Le-
high and Wilkesbarre Cval Company out of the
hands of receivers.

The sale of machine tools, referred to in our
last issue, took place, as mentioned, on the 22d.
The total value of stock offered was probably
from $20,000 to $25,000. It sold very low com-
pared to war prices, but, considering the low
cost of material at present, the low wages and
the low prices now current upon a dull market,
the results were better than might have been
expected. In many cases we think the goods
were sold at cost, or even a_ profit,
which under the circumstances is almost
surprising, and would seem to indicate
a better outlook. It is certainly better to
produce and sell at cost than to have an im-
mense mass of stock, representing a great
money value, idle for months in our factories.
The reason of the fair prices was probably due
to the fact that though the buyers were not
numerous, they were principally men of stand-
ingin the trade, care having been taken that
the tools should not be sacrificed to second-
hand or junk dealers. We ohserved many of
our prominent manufacturers or their represen-
tatives present, who seemed disappointed to
find so much valuable stock thrown on the
market at such low prices. We have heard it
stated, however, among others that there was a
sufficient de d for hine tools, if prices
were but suited to the demanis of the buyers.
Many of the tools presented for sale were of a
fine order of workmanship, having been made
for the Centennial Exhibition, and not slouch
work intended to bring any price at an auction.
The demand seemed to be chiefly for the ordi-
nary tools of the shop—tathes, planers, shapers,
&c., such asare used in jobbing work, &c.—and
to be light for tools of special kinds, though
one or two sales of this class were made ; also,
that tools of alow price sold more readily than
others, as n° one seemed anxious to bid a very
high amount on any one machine. Hard times
make buyers look twice at a dollar before
parting with it.

Pig fron.—The market is without any
signs of improvement, and the past week has
been one of continued dullness and depression.
We cannot make avy change of quotations, al-
though it is well understood that prices are
weak, and to effect sales lower prices would
have to be accepted. For reasons named in our
last, there has been little or no demand for Pig
for some days past, but it is anticipated that
afterthe Ist of the month the demand will
improve. The recent contracts for finished
Iron assures the consumption of at least 10,000
tons of Pig, beside confirming the impression
that there will be a better general demand than
we have had forsome time. The prospect of
abundaat crops also has an encouraging in-
fluence, and although the sanguine expecta-
tions which have been indulged in from time to
time have hitherto not been realized, we are
glad to state that the hopeful feeling is again
beginning to show itself. The present, so far
as actual business is concerned, is as dull as at
any time within a year past, but it is thought
the improvement cannot be long delayed, and
under this conviction the feeling is more cheer-
ful than might otherwise be expected. In the
meantime, we quote the market dull at $16°75
to $17 for Gray Forge; $1750 to $18 for No 2,
and $18 75 to $19 for No. 1, four months, with-
out interest, or 50c. per ton reduction for

prompt cash. Special brands bring a full dollar
more money thau above quoted.

Bar Iron.—Tuoere is a better demand for
Bars, and the future looks more encouraging.
Two or three orders have been placed which
aggregate upward of a thousaud tons, all of
which are said to be at the regular quotations.
Inquiries are numerous, and if the present de-
mand for smal] lots continues as for the past
week or two, there will be no special reason for
complaints. With one or two exceptions, how -
ever, there are no large contracts on hand, so
that any falling off in the demand would be
felt immediately. Stocks in consumers’ bands
are down to the lowest point, so that they are
compelled to purchase frequently. There has
ulso been less competition from outside pints
during the current month, and that too has
helped our local mills, The position at the
moment looks decidedly better, but matters
are not sufficiently settled to have any very
confident predictions in regard to the future.
The low pvices ruling appear to be attracting
attention, while stocks are unusually light, so
that, as we have noted on one or two previous
occasions, as soon as there is an increased con-
sumption the mills must feel the effects at
once. Some manufacturers are looking out
for a foreign market for finished Iron and
Nails, &c.; and a leading firm in this city has
already sent one of their salesmen down to
South America with a view of opening up a
trade in that country, and others are equally
alive to the importance of the movemert. We
quote Common, 1°65c. to 1'752., and Best Re-
fined, 20c to 2°0lc.

Plate and Tank Iron.—The demand
has been moderate for small lots, but we do not
hear of any large orders being placed. There
isenough business on hand, however, to keep
the mills steadily at work, and the only com-
plaint is in regard to pieces, which, although
quite unremunerative, are weak and irregular,
and it is thought sales are made at lower rates
than quotations, which are as follows:
Sbip Plates, 2°374¢c. to 2°50c.; Tank Iron, 25c.
to 28{c.; Shell Iron, 3c.; Flange Iron, 4c. to
4t¢c.; and Best Bloom, 6c. to 6i¢c.

Sheet Iron.—We continue to quote the
market dull, and prices easy. Concessions
would no doubt be made to buyers of round
lots; in the meantime prices are nominally as
follows: Common American, No. 6 to 17, 2%c.
to 3c. ; No. 18 to 28, 3c. to 3%c. ; Best Char-
coal Bloom, No. 6 to 20, 5i¢c.; No. 22 to 28,
5%c. to 6e.; Philadelphia Russia, 8c.

Steel Rails.—There is no change in prices,
and the market may be considered quiet and
steady. Some few sales have been made during
the week, aggregating about 5000 tons, chiefly
at medium figures. Thereare several inquiries
(one from a foreign buyer), snd it is quite likely
that some important orders will be placed
within the next 30 days. Business in this as in
other depar‘ments, although temporarily dull
and inanimate, is expected to improve at an early
date. We quote: $46 to $48, cash, at mills, as
the ruling rate, with several sales at $47.

Iron Rails.—There are several buyers in
the market, and it seems probable that an in-
creased business will be developed in course of
a few weeks. Toere is an inquiry from Cuba
for a large quantity, and sales are reported of
about 2500 tons in all—some for a Cuban road,
some to the Corpus Christi and Rio Grande
Railway Co., and others in small lots to loca!
roads. We quote, ona cash basis, $33 to $36,
cash, at mills, according to quantity and
quality.

Old Rails.—The market has been a little
more active, owing to a demand to meet imme-
diate necessities. Sales have been made in
small lots, aggregating about 1000 tons, at
prices from $20 to $21, according to quality.
There is a little better feeling, but it would be
difficult to place any quantity without breaking
the market. Small lots would probably sell as
above, $20 to $21.

Scrap Irou,—The market is decidedly
weak, and although we make no change in
quotations, business is chiefly at inside figures,
say, $15 to $16°50 for Cast, and $22°75 to $2450
for Wrought.

Old Car Wheels.—Buyers are in the mar-
ket at $18°50 to $19, but we do not hear of any
lots being offered. We quote nominally, $18°50
to $19°50.

Nails.—Prices are again unsettled, and
sales are said to have been made within the
past few days at l5c. to 20c. less than the nomi-
nal quotation. We quote $2'50 as the nominal
rate.

Tin Plates.--We make no change in quo-
tations, and have to report a steady demand as
as follows: Jobbing lots I. C., 10x14, Best
Charcoal Bright, $7°50 to $8; I. X., 10x14,
$9°75 to $10°25; Best Charcoal Leaded, 28x20,
$14 to 814°50; good Charcoal Leaded, $13°50
to $13°75; other good brands, $12°50 to $13°25 ;
good Bright Tin for Cans, &c., $6°50 to $7°25 ;
Coke Leaded, 14x20, $6 to $6°50.

PITTSBURGH.

Office of The Iron Age, T7 Fourth Avenue,
PitTssuRGH, June 26, 1877. t

Pig Iron.—The market continues exceed-
ingly dull, and operators do not expect to do
much for some weeks tocome. Notwithstand-
ing the production is light and stocks have
been reduced lower than they have been at
any time since the panic, prices, in view of
the very limited demand, are weak and a frac-
tion lower. Best brands of Western Mill Iron
cannot now be fairly quoted above $21, 4 mos.;
No, 1 Foundry, $23, and No. 2 do., $22 to
$2250. Consumers, without exception, are
not buying a ton more than they can possibly
help, and sellers, realizing the situation, are
making httle or no eff »rt to do anything, know-
ing as they do that the market in its present
condition will not bear pressing.

Manufactured Iron—UContinues very dull,
with little prospect of any improvement ; and a
pretty general suspension next month by the

mills is almost certam. It is very generally

conceded that the very best thing mill owners
could do would be to shut down for sixty or
ninety days, but itis not to be expected that
any of them would obligate themselves to shut
down fora given time, unless they wou'd all
agree to do so; aud, unfortunately, some firms
are so situated that it would not be prudent for
them to enter into an arrangement of the kind
in question. Prices continue unsettled and un-
remunerative; Bars quotable at 1°65c. to 1°75c.,
aithough sales are rumored as low as 1°60c, and
even 1°50c.

Nails.—The market continues dull and
prices irregular and unremunerative. Manu
facturers hereabout are not anxious for orders,
and it is doubtful whether any of them would
be willing to contract for future delivery with-
in the range of current rates, say, $2°35, sixty
days. The action of the Western Association
in allowing its members to meet competition,
was to enable them to compete with those who
have been slyly cutting uuder the Association
rates, and the indications are that the latter
will soon get their fill of low prices, and be
ready to come to terms.

Horse and Muleshoes.—There is little
or nothing doing, uor is it likely that there
will be for some weeks to come; munufactur-
ers do not expect to do much until August,
possibly S:ptember. Prices unchanged; $3°50
and $4°80 for 100 keg lots.

Steel.—There is a fair demand for Tool and
Machinery Steel, although the inquiry is chiefly
for small lots; Plow Steel is quiet, and there is
not much doing in specialties. The chief
causeof complaint is in regard to prices, which
are unremunerative. Business will nu doubt
improve next month.

Scrap.—There is some little movement in Old
Rails, but with the offerings largely in excess
of present wants, prices and sales are ramored
as low as $19 to $20, cash; but sellers, as a rule,
are asking $20 to $21. At current rates Rails
are much cheaper than Pig Iron, but it is
claimed that the product is not of as good
quality—that it is difficult to obtain a good
mixture. Oid Car Wheels still quoted at $19
to $21 per gross ton.

Window Glass.—The movement contin-
ues light, as it nearly always is at this season of
the year, and it is not likely that there will be
any improvement until the fall trade sets in.
No change in prices; discount off regular list
70 by the car load, and 60 and 10 to 60 and 20
for smal) lots.

Copper.—There is not much doing in man-
ufactured Copper, and while the mills here are
still in operation, they are not, and have not at
any time this year, been working up to any-
thing like their full capacity.

Coal and Coke,—Tradein both of these
important articles is dull, as it usually is at this
particular time, and no immediate improve-
ment is expected.

Petreleuam.—Nearly all of our refineries
continue busily engaged working up to their
full capacity, and the indications are that they
will have about all they can do for three or
four months to come. No new strikes re-
ported for some days, atid prices both for crude
and refined are firmer and higher. Estimated
daily production of crude, 38,000 to 40000 bbls.;

do. consumption, 40,000 to 45,000 bbls.

have been no important transactions during the
past week, and the market remains generally
quiet. Prices range probably a little lower, but
Juwer prices do not induce purchases where
parties are not in need, and there is little in-
ducement to lower quotations.

remove the pressure of political uncertainty which
weighs down bnsiness among us, and also affects

| that the ore produced from these mines durmng the

the metal trade. Copper.—The West Coast charters |

for the latter part of May having becn but 1500 tone,

a slightly improved feeling soon manifested itself, |
but subsequently the market became flat again. |

Orders from India at London are not large enough
at present to mend matters from that quarter, and
eople on the continent operate with great caution
rom general couses recommending foresight. We
have remained inactive here, and the tendency is
still a downward one. We quote, deliverable at
Havre, Chili Bars, 185 france ; current ditto, 180;
Ingots, 188°75; Best Selected, 191°25; Corocoro Ore,
185, and Copper Sheathing. 240; Yellow Metal ditto,
210. Prices are also declining at Havre; they quote
firet brands Chili Bare, 183°75; good current ditto,
180 to 181°25, and Lota and Urmeneta, 178°75._ Mar-
seilles is weak, but unaltered; Small Refined Ingots,
185; Copper for kettles, 225; Bolts, 235; Yellow
Metal Sheathing, 205, and ditto Copper, 240. Tin.—
As the month advanced this metal increased in flat-
nees both in England and on the continent ; recent
statistics and the heavy Australian shipments have
counteracted all tendency of a more favorable kind
that seemed to grow up. and extreme apathy
is now the rule of the day, We are paralyzed
here and declining, quoting Banca, 196°25 francs
the 100 kilos; Billiton, 191°25; Straits, 188°75 ;
Australian, 187°50, and English, 187°50. Mar-

seilles is weak; Banca, 195; Straite, 185; Eng- |

lich, 185, and French in slabs, 205. Lead.—The
smelting establishments in England and on the con-
tinent have for the moment set their minds against
argentiferous Lead at current rates, and Spanish has
suffered quite a tumble in consequence.
is transpiring here at present, and we have to note a
giving way of 25c. on all sorts indiscriminately
quoting them 53°75 francs the 100 kilos here, and
53°25 at Havre, At Havre first fusion soft Spanish
is quotable as tefore, 54. At Marseilles nothing
worth reporting has occurred. Spelter.—silesian is
again easier in England owing to the still ample
stock, while the demand remains slack. We have
remained very quiet here, and good brands have suf-
fered a decline of one franc both here at Paris and
at Havre. We quote them 52 francs the 100 kilos
here. Silesian hae declined 50 to 52°50 here. The
latter remains 53 at Havre. Marseilles nominal and
drooping. Jron.—Prices seem to leok up a little ; at
the same time this seems hardly warranted, inas-
much as orders do not increase, and so far as Iron
for architectural purposes is concerned, they have,
on the contrary, become less daily in consequence
of the disturbed political outlovk. First-class Mer-
chant Iron at Paris may still be quoted 190 and Sheet
Iron 230. In the Ardennes, it should be remarked,
however, the establishments furnishing the raw ma-
terial to the hardware manufactories have their
handa tolerably full. In the Haute-Marne, old com-
mands not yet executed ‘n full still keep up & gcod
current of occupation, and Merchant Iron, Hoops,
as wellas Sheet Iron are sustained in value, while
Iron Chains have drepped slightly, and No. 12 a8
well as polished No. 23 are quoted 6570 to 580 francs.
‘* Moulage ” and “ affinage’’ in the Meurthe and
Moselle are at 18°50. There have been produced in
France in 1876, according to the official statistics
just published, 1,449,000 tons of Pig Iron aga’nst
1,416,000 the yyy | year ; Merchant Iron, 848,-
000 against $70,000 ; Steel, 261,000 against 257,000.
Coal.—Some effort has been mace to represent the
situation as having somewhat improved, but we
cannot perceive it either froma statistical point of
view or otherwise, aud beside we are now ap
proaching the duil season.

BELGIUM.

(Revue Unsversetie).

Broussets, June 10, 1877.—/Jron.— A rather better
feeling has been perceptible on ‘Change; holders
have exbibited increased firmness, orders are more
frequent and larger, yet those 1p want of Iron are
stiliable to procure their ee at very reason-
able rates in view of the lack of umeliorstion in Pig
Iron and Coal. English Pig Iron has even slightly

ven way in our market during the week, while

uxemboorg do. has remained stationary. There is
as yet no decided general revival, but consumpuon
has madea void in some quarters, and as consumers
seem at length to have arrived at the conclusion that
it is useless to wait for still lower prices of Wrought
Iron, they are by degrees returning to market and
commerce replenishing the exhausted supplies.
Our Steel works have got plenty of orders, and so
have the rolling mills. The owners of forges, who
during the past few months had been discouraged
by the uncertainties of thesituation, have now their
order books well filled with commands brooking no
delay. According to the official statistics just pub-
lished there have been imported into Belgium dur-
ing the-first four months 209,000 tons of Iron ore,
against 216,000 and 303,000 tons during the corre-
sponding period of the previous two years; Pig and
ola Iron, 65,000, against 70,000 and 47,000, and tiard-
ware, &¢c., 2000, against 4000 and 6000. We have
exported, on the other hand, 53,000 tons of Ore,
against 44,000 and 55,000; Pig and old Iron, 4000,
sgainst 5000 and 5000, and Hardware, 60,000, against

000 and 63,000. Coal.—The strike in the -eraing
district has ended without leading to any result but
an increased Coal importation while it lasted, which
has done prices no good.

GERMANY.

(Borsenhalle).

Hamsvure, June 9, 1877.—Metals.—We are but
slowly recovering from the lull inseparable from the
holidays, and flatness still prevails in the German
metal markets, deepened by the suspicion engen-
dered by the general political outlook, which latter
obstacle will only be removed by a more stuble as-

t of affairs in neighboring countries. Copper.—
ere has been lees doing, and the dealings have
been restricted to sup lying immediate consumptive
wants. Berlin is unaltered; good qual.ties English
and Australian sell there at 76 to 78 marks the 50
kilos, and Refined Mansfield at 77 to 77°50. English
at Stettin is worth 90 marks, We are firm here, and
note Drontheim, 82; Minnesota Ingot, 101; Quincy,
, and English Tough Cake, 77 to 73 marks. Jin.—
The iliusion under which some Tin holders were la-
boring that betrer times were in store for them in
the immediate future having been disturbed during
the week by the untoward statistical aspect, they
have manifested a wish to realize, but consumers
ho'ding back, we have flattened immedtately in the
various German markets, and are now dull and nom-
inal without any hoteworthy change in quotations
anywhere. Lead.—This metal has remained unin-
fluenced by the breakdown in Segesé and France,
and the only explanation we have for it is that se-
cret purchases are still bel made, and find their
way across the Eastern frontier. We have remained
remarkably firm here. The same has becn the case
at Berlin, which quotes Tarnowitz, Hartz and Sax-
onian, 20°75 to 21°25 marks the 50 kilos, while Span-
uh at Stettin commands 26 to 26°50, and German,
24. Spelter.—Stocks in fir+t hands in this cm are’ |
remain low, and the dealings are thereby restricted.
Berlin quotes for good qualities Silesian, 20°25 to
20°75; Stettin, 21°50 to 22°50, and we are quiet at
20°50 marks to arrive, the 50 kilos,

Good accounts continue to reach us of this mine,
the general opinion being that with a scale of opera-

would at a very early date take its place among the
dividend paying properties of the Penineula.

Our English Letter.

Review of the British Iron, Steel, Mets
and Hardware Trades.

(From our Regular Correspondent. )
SHEFFIELD, Eng., Juue 11, 1877.
THE WAR NEWS
of the week just ended has been very meager,
and leaves us in considerable doubt as to
which of the two combatants has in reality
suffered least. Each appears to be endeavor-
ing to be elevating the art of not doing it into
an exact science—the Russian indolence on the
Danube being only paralleled by the Turkish

ery little | incapacity and negligence in Asia Minor. The

other powers, luckily, remain quiet, and it is
presumed that Russia has now given such
assurances a6 shall quiet the latent suspicions
of her ultimate designs, which she knows are
entertained both by Austria and England. All
+orts of more or less ridiculous canards are
afloat as to the plans of our own government
in relation to Egypt, and it is actually advanced
by some of to-day’s newspapers that we are to
seize the Suez Canal and hold it against all
comers. Not to put too fine a point upon it, I
venture to hint that this would literally be
suezcide with a vengeance, and would some
time or other involve us in a row with France.

Domestically, the sensation of the week has
been the

BRIDGE ACCIDENT AT BATH,
which occurred on Wednesday morning. The
structure was a frail bridge of timber and iron
lattice girders, about 90 feet in total span, and
only about 7 feet in interior width. It was
crowded with people going from the Great
Western railway station to the show of the
West of Eogland AgriculturalSociety, and bad
a toll house at the exit end. The consequerce
was that the keeper could not take the toll
with sufficient rapidity, the bridge gradually
grew more and more weighted, and finally gave
way. 3ome 200 people were thrown into the
river, and beside nine deaths over fifty were
terribly injured. The bridge was owned by
a private company.
GENERAL GRANT

was one of those who visited the scene of the
accident next day. Your famous ex-President
is meeting with avery sincere and hearty re-
ception here, and greater honor is being done
him ir a quiet way than is usually rendered
with so much tinsel to our foreign visitors.
We consider General Grant ‘‘one vf the fam
ily,’ and he is free to go where he likes with
the utmost courtesy and friendliness on all
sides. He bada good look round Liverp>ol
and Manchester (where he made a specially
neat speech), and at Derby inspected the Mid
land Railway Works. He was run upto Lun-
don by a special Pullman express, and bas
since been i:ushing about in a manner showing
that he means business. His more formal and
courtly experiences have not yet been inaugu-
rated.
MR. JOHN JONES, F. G. 8.,

the well known eccretary of the Iron and Steel
Institute, of the British ban Trade Association,
and other kindred organizations, died last week
at Sa'tburn-by-the-Sea. He was only 44 years
of age, and probably dicd of overwork. He
founded and edited the fron and Coal Trades
Review, and was virtually the founder of many
of the associations for which he acted as secre-
tary. The Council of the Institute will meet
on June 15th to discuss the appointment of a
successor to the deceased gentleman.

THE DEFENSES OF PLYMOUTH

are just now a subject of great interest ; hence
my quotation of the following description of
them, which I take from Engineering:

“Plymouth Sound is defended by an outer
and innerline. The first includes the powerful
fort on the Breakwater, the foris at Pickle-
combe and Bovisand and half the guns at Fort
Stamford. ‘fhe Breakwater Fort, which is
plated with, in all, 15io0. of armor, there being
between every 5 in. a thick coating of teak, is at
the present time being mounted with 18 guns,
the sizes varying from 11 in. to 9 in. bore.
Bovisand Battery, constructed of granite, and
baving 15 in. iron shields at the weakest ports,
the embrasures, is pierced for 23 guns (the
largest being 11 in.) on ove floor, and these
guns command the anchorage passage between
the east end of the Breakwater and the shore.
Picklecombe, on the west side of the Break-
water, is by far the heaviest fort of its kind.
It 1s constructed of granite, with iron shields.
It differs from Bovisand in that it contains two
floors, each of which is mounted with 21 guns
of large size, bearing on the western entrance of
the Sound. The strength of both Bovisand and
Picklecombe forts was put to a severe test some
years since, when several salvos of artillery
were fired without in any way injuring the con-
structions. Cewsand Bay anchorage is defended
by a granite battery mounting seven heavy guns,
anda similar battery stands on the sbore of
Whitsand Bay— Polhawre Cove—to prevent the
landing of a force in that locality. The range
of this battery extends over the entire bay, ana
of necessity this must be taken before any ene
my could Jand there. Drake’s Island forms a
part of both the outer and inner defeuses of
the port. Seaward there is a powerful upper
battery, mounted with 25 ton guns, from which
an effective fire could be poured for at least a
mile outside the Breakwater. The guns onthe
whole island are directly pointed to the naviga-
ble channels of the Sound and Cattewater, so
that Drake’s Island is the key to the whole po
sition. The narrow entrance to the Hamoaze
is protected by two recloubts in Firestone Bay,
each mounting 15 heavy guns, and by the Gar-
den Battery at the west end of Barn Pool.
Last, but not least, are the batteries on Mount
Wise, where some of the newest pattern artil-
lery bas been fixed, and which in this case is
supplemented, as at all the other forts and bat-
teries, by a Jarge number of mortars.”’

AMERICAN COMPETITON IN AUSTRALIA

is described in rather strong terms by the Syd-
ney correspondent of the London Times, under
date of April 14th. I dare say you will bave
noted this remarkable letter as an entity, espe-
cially the following striking portion: ** A coun-
try that, like New South Wales, 1s rolling in
wealth, must be a country that is able to buy,
and a country that is able to buy is exactly the
country that American manafacturers have
been anxiously looking out for. Our repre-
sentatives at Philadelphia huve come back
strongly impressed with the fact that there ure

‘

| many things thai the Americans can supply us
with to advantage. Our yovernment has an
offer from Messrs. Baldwin & Co. to furnish a
locomotive engine for about £1000 less than the

ment Open until the engine has been thoroughly
proved and approved. A Pullman’s sleeping

been ordered, and American wheels, axles,
rails and brakes are strongly pressed on our ac-
ecptance, As our government engiveers are
all of the, English schcol, American novelties
wil have a hard battle to fight to win official
acceptance, but the demand for economy w
railway construction and working is so great
that the people and Parliament will press on the
Mivister for Public Works a fair trial for any
American novelties that may seem to be suited
to our wants. The English manufacturers,
therefore, who have hitherto supplied us must
look to their Jaurels.”

These are plain, unvarnished statements, aud
ought to afford much encouragement to your
menufecturers. If the British traders will not
study the requirements and tastes of their
distant customers they deserve to lose their
markets.

MR. MACDONALD, M. P.,

is in bot water just now. This week Jron
gently inquires a8 to the truth or otherwise of
a rather remarkable story which is in circulation
relative to the getting up of subscriptions for
the family of the Jate Jobn Normaneell, the
well known colliers’ advocate and unionist
leader. It is alleged that the great Alexander
was applied to no fewer than six times for his
name—and subscription—but failed to reply,
and now, when openly and directly challenged,
says he did not know anything about the mat-
ter. Hech, mon! Is not Alexander a Scotch-
man, and doth the North Briton at ony time
part with his beloved saxpences except under
seVere and continuous pressure ? Nae, nae, they
are nu’ daft! i hl

THE WEEK’S FAILURES
have been rather numerous, but not very heavy,
with three or four exceptions. At Birming
bam, Artbur Lindley & Co., railway lamp man-
ufacturers have petitioned the court with debts
revealing £12,500. At Preston, Lancashire,
ee —_ & Greenwood, drapers, uphol-
sterere, &c., have stopped, owing about
£40,000. In the London Court a petition bas
been presented by Messrs. Pursell, Howard &
Daniell, of London and Macclesfield, silk-
men, who owe about £53,000, and have fair
assets,

THE BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS

for May were issued on Friday, and show that
our exports during the month were of the de-
clared value of £17,461,139 as against £17,055,-
004 in May, 1876—an increase of about 2 per
cent., but a decrease of 33{ per cent. es com-
pared with May, 1875. The total exports for
the first five mouths of this year are £79,923,-
471, as against £83,561,790 im 1876, and £¥1,-
507,221 im 1875. The total quantity of iron and
stee! sent off last month was 251,114 tons, or
18,058 tons more than Mav, 1876, and £53,635
in higher value. For the tive months the tutal
is 895,128 tons—an increase of 57,731 tons over
last year, but with a decrease in value amount-
ing to £331,215. The several totals in this re-
spect are these:

SCOTCH PIG TRON

has been quietly steady, with less business
doing than Jstely. The stock in Connal’s
stores has increased to 138,663 tons.

Messrs. William Colvin & Co., on June 5,
said: ‘* The demand for makers’ iron is quiet,
and the tendency is still downward ”’.

Writing on June 8th, Messrs. James Watson &
Co. (Glasgcew) thus reported; ‘* The Scotch pig
iron ma:ket has been very steady during the
week, only a limited business having been
done from 54/ to 53/10 per ton, afterward ad-
vancing to 54/214, cash, and closing this after-
noon, sellers at 54/1, buyers offering 54/ per
ton. The demand for makers’ iron is quiet.
Shipmects last week were 8237 tons, against
11,019 tons in the corresponding week of 1876.

THE CLEVELAND IRON TRADE

returns for last month show a total make of
189,593 tons, of which 67,000 were shipped,
31,176 tons going to foreign ports. The stocks
in the district, in makers’ hands and warrant
stores, increased 5000 tons in the month, the
total on May 32 being 235,000 tons. There were
on that date 112 furnaces in blast, several of
which, however, were camped down. Prices
for plates were £6 17/6 to £7; iron rails, £5.
12/6 to £5. 15/, and ordinary bars, £6 to £6. 2/6.
THE PELSALL IRON AND COAL COMPANY,

Staffordshire, have just issued their annual re-
pert, which shows a loss on the year’s working of
£5086, of this total £2666 had been incurred up
to December 8th, when a circular was sent out
to the shareholders. Since thut date the works
have not been half emplcvyed, and the stocks
of materials has further depreciated in value to
the extent of £1000. About £3000 bave been
a for wagous during the year, half of which

as been changed to current account, so that
these items alone account for the loss shown
on the balance sheet.

TRADES OF SHEFFIELD.

Matters remain quiet all round, and the most
sanguine of business men hardly count upon
there being any change of moment during the
next few months, unless the Russo-Turkish
war should speedily collapse. In the mean-
time, some few firms are doing a moderately
good business in various classes of iron other
than merchant qualities, and state that they
are just enabled to keep going by dint of per-
severing economy and attention to the require-
ments of buyers. Pig iron in this district is
barely steadyin price, albeit there is no par-
ticular change to note in the quotations for any
special or general brand. At present the fol-
Jowing may be taken as being the pig iron
prices which most affect the transactions of
this locality: North Lincolnshire brands, 45/
to 60/; Aireside Leeds, No. 1, 53/; No. 2, 49/;
No. 3, 48/; No. 4, 47/; forge, 47/ ; mettied,
46/; white, 45/. Acklam, Yorkshire, No. 1

| have been and are row made for our own and

chiefly |

| .
put on full time, after having been on very

“short diet’? for along period, This increase
of activity isat the gun worke, where all the
principal steel castings for ordnance tul ca, &e.,
doubtless for other governmerts. The bneker
demand is, of course, owing to the prepara-
tions for contingencies now in hand at our ar-
senals,

In the saw trade the war has not improved
| matters by any means, Russia baving long been
one of our very best markets for timber eut-
; ting saws—eepecially cross-cuts, Since the

Eastern question began to look threatening,
| local saw manufacturers have grown more cau-
tious, until at present their trade with Russia
is almost suspended, the reeult being that one
firm alone bas 38,000 cross cuts in etock await-
ing the renewed demand. Other coucerne are
in pretty nearly the same position, although I
hardly think their stcck would quite reach a
total like that just mentioned. For joiners’
and other small saws the demand is stii} pretty
| well upheld, mostly on account of the home
| trade, In other branches of business there hag
| been no change.

| The proposed amalgamation of the Great
| Northern and Great Eastern Railway is a mat-
ter of the gravest Interest to the coal owners
of South Yorkshire, inasmuch as the consoli-
|
|

dation of these two companies would practi-
cally end competitive coal carrying from this
| district to London, There can be no doubt
that unless the coal owners’ interests are eon-
sidered in the probable new arrangements they
will give a powerful support to the scheme for
promoting a line direct to Londun.

The local colliers are in a state of ferment
and are seemingly somew bat apathetic as 1e-
gards their interest in union matters, They
have held several large mass meetings during
this week, and have experienced a really seri-
ous amount of speeches from various advisers
At a meeting held at Swinton on Monday, Mr.
W. Chappell, ore of the secretaries of the
union, said: ‘The masters of the district were
not about to reduce wages exactly but to
lengthen the period of lsbor from eight to
eleven hours, which amounted to the same
thing.”’ In reference to this I may say that no
joint action has as yet been taken in the sub-
ject by the Coal Owners’ Association, whatever
may have been done by the individual eoal
masters.

The directors of the Whittington and She« p-
bridge Colliery Company, L'mited, bave issued
a circular to such of the shareholders as have
not received their guaranteed dividends in
which they state that the vender has paid the
necessary sum to the company, but the direec-
tore, a —— it desirable to devote all their
available funds to the payme
—— payment of their trade

There is no particular change as to cutler
The decision as to the “‘Shaw ” knife wil) be
given in a few days hence. *

IN BIRMINGHAN AND STAFFORDSHIRE

the fron trade remains dull, although

the second and tbird-class ‘makers are selling
iron at prices which are 2/6 to 5/ per ton under
the quarter day rates. There is a tolerably
steady demand for galvanized sheets and wire
and fora few special brands of ordinary esheets.
Pig iron is easier, and there are now only 58 fur-
naces in blast in the district. With the United
States business is quiet in all respects, the
chief transactions being in chea birding
guns, fish hooks and needles, chains, trays
curry combs, tin plates, screws aud a few other
articles. With Australia and New Zealand the
trade is fairly brisk, although recent advices
are very -ignificant as to the strides which your
manufacturers are making there. With India
the Cape and the West Indies there is a moder-
ate business doing. The Central and South
American markets are sending better indents
but prices there also are said to be kept
down by the keenness of American com peti-
tion.”” The sword and bayonet branches are

SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE

are doing rather more business, mainly i
of both kinds. Dowlais is about to ws ark
delivering a large order for the Great Western
Last weck the total quantity shipped was 2888
tons, chiefly to Gothenburg, Iquiqve, Soder-
haum, Barcelona and Cadiz. A }ocal corre-
spondent rays that the experiments at Pontez
and Landore with phosphated iron have been
so successful that a larger quantity is being
made. In these trials the phosphor instead of
being expelled is made useful in bardenin
the rail, which is as hard as steel and weak
cheaper. Almost all thetin plate makers Lave
adopted the principle of working two weeks
only out of three, which is already reducing
stocks. Last week’s coal shipwents from
Wales reached 110,908 tons.
THE METAL MARKETS

remained dull and unchanged during last
week.

Mesers. Von Dadelezen & North say: “ Cop-
per is rather firmer, but the businsss doing

At the Bessemer works 1n this vicinity there

of activity—a state of things one can hardly
credit in tnese dull industrial times. The gen-
erol run is for rails, considerable lots of which
are now being sent off to Grimsby and Hull for
shipment to Russia and Norway ; beside which |
several fairly good specifications for home |
lines—excepting the Midland—are being
worked off. Nothing more, I may say, bas yet
been stated as to the intentions of the Midland |
Compauy in respect of rail manufacturing at |
their new Derby premises. Furtber particulars
would now be received with a good deal of in-
terest here.

ln the cast steel trade I cannot report any |
real genera! improvement, although in several
cases there are statements indicating thet some
houses are doing a little better in the home and

THH IRON AGE.

June 28, 1877,

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

MASSACHUSETTS.

Taylor, Church & Coffing are running the
blast furnace of the Lenox Iron Works under a
lease which will soon expire, when it is thought
they will take a new lease.

The American Tack Company, New Bedford,
was incorporated in 1867 with a capital of
$75,000, subsequently increased to $125,000.
The officers of the company are Charles E.
Bingbam, president; J. A. Beauvais, treas
urer, and C. D. Hunt, agent. Their works oc-
cupy thirteen acres of ground, two acres of
which are covered by buildings ; their wharf,
which is 325 feet long, extending for at least
half its length into the New Bedford harbor.
They manufacture more than 2000 varieties of
tacks and nails, to produce which they annu-
ally import 300 tons of Swedes iron, and use
about the same quantity of American iron, be-
side large quantities of copper, brass, zinc and
steel.

CONNECTICUT.

The Woodruff Iron Works, at Hartford, will
not shut down, but are preparing for increasing
business.

The Meriden Britannia Company will have its
annual shut down from July Ist to the 15th.

The Seth Thomas Clock Company, of Thomas-
ton, are buiiding a brass and iron foundry 100
feet by 30, just opposite their office.

NEW YORK.

The Crown Point Iron Company will blow
out their furnace July 1, preparatory to relin-
ing it. They will substitute the Whitwell for
the Ford ovens. The work of relinivug will
cost $50,000, and will employ the usual number
of men. -

It is rumored that the mills of the Albany
and Reneselacr Iron Works now running will be
shut down in a short time, to remain idle about
two weeks.

J. & J. Roger’s Iron Works, at Black Brook,
have been shut down for repairs. The bellows
has been taken out, and the timbers that sup-
ported it replaced by new ones, while the large
overshot wheel, which has been in constant
use for more than twenty years, and has run a
forge of eight fires, is to be thoroughly re-
paired. _The time necessary to complete these
repairs will be about one month.

NEW JERSEY.

There is reported to be every evidence of a
revival of industry at Trenton. The Trenton
Iron Company and Roebling’s Wire Mill are
both running with an increased force of work-
men, and all the potteries are now in full opera
tion.

PENNSYLVANIA.

The furnace of the Pottstown Iron Company
thas been cleaned, and the work of tearing out
the lining commenced.

The Rosena Furnace salamander has been
removed.

The Spearman Furnace No. 1, Sharpsville, is
doing very well, and No. 2 is all ready for the
lining, which will be put in some time during

July.
There are some signs of repairing the
Shoo Fly furnaces, Sharpsville. Stone,

sand, &c., is being shipped to the furnace,
and some repairing going on on the trestle-
work.

The Newcastle Manufacturing Company’s
works are engaged in filling orders for machin-
ery for the new gas pipe works.

The gas pipe works, Newcastle, will com-
menace operations about July 1. The manufae-
tory will turn out gas, steam and water pipe,
and also oil well tubing.

Springfield Furnace, Blair county, is again
in blast. The annual capacity is 1000 net
tons.

The machinists of the Glendon [ron Company
are working day and night preparing machin-
ery for No. 1 furnace, which will be Liown in
shertly.

The Sheridan furnaces are in blast, making
No. 1 iron.

The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
‘Company announce that no matter how low
the average price of coal may fall during the
continuation of the coal war, they will not ask
a reduction on wages greater than 30 per cent.
Off the basis—that is, the base price, or scale,
agreed upon some time since.

The Allem Furnace, at Sharpsville, is to blow
in at. once. This furnace bas been vut since
February, 1875. At present there is no certain-
ty of it keeping x blast longer than will re-
quire to use up the old stock, which will not
be much over or under three months.

An exchange says: The Coleman Iron Fuar-
waces, at Cornwall, Lebanon county, have re-
ceived an order for 50,000 tons of pig iron.
This will keep the six furnaces steadily in blast
for one year. This seems like a large story,
too good to be true.

An order went into effect in the shops of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, Altcona, on the 18th,
which reduces the working time of employes
to 8 hours per day. In addition to this a num-
ber of bands bave been suspended, including
some 35 engineers and firemev. A few of the
engineers have been furnished with positions
as firemen, and it is the understanding that as
soon as the business of the corporation war-
rants it they will be reinstated to their former
runs.

Mr. Wootten’s patent, by which coal dirtis
used for fuel on engines, is said to work very
satisfactorily. A-traim of 125 cars was taken
down the Reading Road a day or two »zo wuth
85 cents worth of coal,

The liboring men employed by E. & G.
Brooke bave had an advance of 5 cents per day
on their wages since June Ist.

A reduction of 20 per cent. in the wages of
the hands employed ut the rolling will of Light
& Bro., at Lebanon, was made last week. As
a result, the telerraph inforins us, the puddlers
thave struck.

PITTSBURGH AND VICINITY.

Zug & Co.’s Mill is idle. Reason—too low
prices for the quality of iron and nails they
make.

A new glass melting furnace for the factory
of Challinor, Hogan & Co., Svuth Side, is be-
ing put into position. Gas fuel 1s to be used
in the new furnace.

Messrs. Mullin & Maloney are runnivg their
mill double turn, giving employment to about
200 men. :

The Eberhart Malleable Iron Company will
employ 400 hands when the new addition to
their works is completed.

On the 20th inst. the assignees of McKnight,
Porter & Co., again offered for sale the valuable
property known as Monticello Furnace, three
miles above Kittanning. The furnace site and
lands adjoining, nearly 400 acres, were bought
in by J. 8. Slagle, Esq., for $16,250; the Myers
tract, on the opposite side of the river, con-
taining 80 acres, by J. E. Brown, for $2300,
and the old McNickel Furnace tract, on the
west side of the river, containing 810 acres, en-
tirely underlaid with minerals, by James E.
Brown, Grier C. Orr and James B. Neale for
$15,000. The sale amounted to abcut $33,000.

WEST VIRGINIA.

An exchauge says: They are practicing the
making of nails out of old rails at Wheeling,
which is claimed to bea saving of $5°25 a ton
over those made from pig iron.

OHIO.

Blast Furnace No. 2, Hubbard, is all ready to
blow in, and No. 1 all ready to biow out. They
can scarcely keep the iron in two hours ata
time, but that is no disgrace, as it is in blast
now five consecutive years.

The Lawrence Iron Works have just shipped
to Nashville 35 tons (1500 bundles) of cotton
ties, tarred and clipped, ready for use.

The Union Steel Screw Works are undergo-
ing some improvements in machinery, etc.,
which will be completed within about three
weeks,

‘The capacity of the Cleveland Fire Brick
Works is about 3000 bricks per day.

The Cleveland Hazard Hame Compsny are
running with forty-five men on full time.
Business is fair.

About five hundred tank cars were lately
constructed for the Standard Oil Company.
The tanks were many of them built at the
boiler shops of the company, and the trucks
in Dayton.

There are 250 men employed at the plate and
sheet mills of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Com-
pany. The plate department is being oper-
ated nearly all of the time and the shect branch
is steady.

There is no immediate prospect of the Ohio
City Nail Mill etarting.

The Co-operative Stove Company, Cleveland,
employ twenty-eight molders, twelve stove
mounters and twelve laborers.

The ruling freight rates at Cleveland are as
follows: Ore, Marquette to Cleveland and
Ashtabula, $1°25 to $1°30; ore, L’Anse to Cleve-
land and Ashtabula, $1°25 to $130; ore, Es-
canaba to Cleveland and Ashtabula, 75 cents.

‘Etna Furnace, Hanging Rock, will not make
any iron this year. It made 1750 tons of iron
last month. Mt. Vernon, Howard, Hecla and
Buckhorn are running. Pine Grove stopped
up last week to remodel her hot-blast flue.

John Shillito, of Cincinneti, advertises for
proposals for 350 tons cast iron columns, about
12,000 feet of beams, doors, box girders, etc.
Proposals received until July 5th.

MICHIGAN.

The Republic Iron Company shipped 1000
tons of ore one day last week, being the largest
shipment ever made in any one day by any
mine in the district.

No. 1 stack of the Pioneer Furnace is being
thoroughly repaired, and some portions of it
are being rebuilt. It 1s thought she will be
ready to be blown in by July Ist.

ILLINOIS.

The Belleville Nail Works resumed opera-
tions under J.C. Waugh & Bro., lessees, with
Gen. W. H. Powell as general manager, Novem-
ber 1, 1876. Tbe capacity of the mill is 48 ma-
chines. The product from November lst to
June 12th was 76,000 kegs. This mil] has been
operated under a new process invented and
patented by Gen. Powell, by which old rails
bave been largely and very successfully utilized,
with satisfactory results to the company and
to the trade. The works are now stopped for
repairs, but will resume operations as soon as
improvements are made.

MISSOURI.

The Vulcan Rail Mill is running double. It
has an order for 7000 tons of steel rails for the
Union Pacific. It is said that these rails are to
be used for the branch to the Black Hills.

TENNESSEE.

The Chattanooga Dispatch says: The cm-
ployes of the Southern States Coal, Iron and
Land Co., about 300 in number, struck and quit
work. The immediate cause of the strike was
the notice of a reduction of wages 20 per cent.
Ail the hands but twenty quit, and most ofthem
left the place. Since then a considerable num-
ber of the wen have returned to labor, and
others are being employed at the reduced rate.
There will probably be uo difficulty in filling
the men’s places in a very short time. Labor-
ers were paid under the old arrangement $1 to
$1°50, and mecbanics $2 to $3 each. They will
now receive 80 cents to $1°20 for laborers, and
$1°60 to $2°40 for mechanics.

The Bear Spring Furnace is in blast,

The Dover Furnace is idle.

The Schofield Rolling Mill, at Chattanooga,
isruoning full double turn, with orders for
some time ahead.

KENTUCKY.

The Norton Iron Works, Ashland, shipped,
for the week ending June 15th, 11,500 kegs of
nails. The nail factory, forge and rolling mill
are all running to their fuli capacity. The fur-

nace is now stopped and undergoing repairs;
they will put in a new hearth and inwall and
put up new hot-blasts.

Mt. Savage Furnace is making 1414 tons, and
Charlotte 1244 tons of pig iron per day.

TEXAS.

The furnace at Jefferson, which has now
been in blast several wecks, is making ten
to eleven tons per day of u very fine No. 1 iron,
The present run is to be a short one, to supply
the Kellyville Foundry, as they have nota plow
on hand or the material to make one, Last
year they sold ten thousand plows, and this
year are going to make fifteen thousand. Next
month the furnace will run on cold-blast iron
for car wheels for railroads. A correspondent
writes from that section: ‘‘ Tke narrow
gauge railroad is being pushed with untiring
energy, and will develop this country as uo
other enterprise could ; already it is entering a
limestone region, and more limonite ores are
being brought within a marketable distance,
and the material for making iron is almost
as plenty asit was at Iron Mountain a few
years since. The vast pine forests, undisturbed
as yet by the woodman’s ax, make timber
cheap.”

Some Points of the American Tor-
pedo System.

The American torpedo system for the protec-
tion of seaport cities may be classified under
the heads of defensive and offensive. The plans
adopted are carefully guarded aud kept secret
by the officers who have charge of this branch
of the naval service. The torpedo defenses of
American cities are, however, to say the least,
as complete as those of any part of the world.
The general features of the system have been
already made public in official reports to the
Navy Department; and a brief review of them
cannot fail to be interesting at thistime. Of
course, there are now no torpedoes or other
submarine mines in any of the American her-
bors. At Willet’s Poimt, however, there are
now torpedo cases sufficient for the defense of
the greater portion of our coast, and in case of
a foreign invasion they could, at comparatively
slight cost, be put in place and connected with
the -hore by means of electricity. The manner
of working these stationary torpedoes for de-
fensive purposes is as simple as it is ingenious.
In a thoroughly protected casemate of the fort
selected to commanicate with the torpedoes,
secured as well as may be from the force of
the enemy, are placed electric batteries, test-
ing galvanometers, operating apparatus, and
other inetruments, which are under the control
of subordinate officers specially educated for
such service. The commanding officer of the
fort stations himself in some elevated position
where he has the whole channel before him,
and, by means of a telegraph wire, gives com-
mands and instructions to bis subordinate in
the casemate. Radiating from the instruments
under the management of this sub-officer, the
torpedo cables extend in subterranean galleries
to the channel, where they connect with groups
of mines, which in turn are perfeetly flanked
by the guns of the battery. The mine consists
ofan anchor, a buoyant case containing the
charge, a fuse, and circuit-closmg ay-para-
tus, and the electric cable ext@fiding to
the shore as already described. These
groups are placed in such a_ positiun
tha. they connect with numerous con-
cealed buoys that form a perfect network
at the mouth of the harbor, and make it impos-
sible for any vessel to approach withovt the
knowledge of the officerson shore. If the ves-
sel be friendly, it is, of course, allowed to pass ;
if otherwise, every mine in the channel threat-
ens her, and unless the calculations of well
known enyiveers fail, she would be unable to
proceed two ship lengths without total destruc-
tion. It is claimed that these torpedoes can be
thoroughly protected from out-riggers and
nets, but the means by which these contriy-
ances are rendered ineffective have not been
made public. The above is believed to be the
most approved system of torpedo coast de-
fense, but for the protection of channels which
could for atime be abandoned by friendly ships,
the old system in use during the late eivil war
is considered sufficient. The mines planted
under this system explode in coming in contact
with the bottom of a vessel, and are, therefore,
dangerous alike to friend and foe.

Within the past few years numerous impor-
tant improvements have been made in the art of
constructiog offensive torpedoes. These may
be classed technically under the heads of spar
torpedoes, Harvey torpedoes, automatic fish
torpedoes, submarine boats and submarine
rockets. In addition to these, there is the im-
proved fish torpedo, which recent experiments
have proved can be effectually directed and
controlled by electric communication with the
shore. The torpedo of this class, adopted by
the English government, is pear shaped in
form, can be driven through the water at a
great speed in any direction, even making
curves, and proceeding to a given point, where
it is fired by means of electricity. In addition
to these different classes of uflensive and de-
fensive torpedoes, however, there are a num-
ber of recent inventions which have not been
given to the public, and the exact nature of
which is known only to a few trusted officers
under whose direction they have been con-
structed.

Italian Iron-Clads.—A bold advance in the
construction ofiron-clad ships has been de-
cided upon by the Italian government in re-
spect to the two vessels which are to excel the
Duilio and the Dandolo, The new ships are
now begun, but it will probably be six years
before they are complete. They are to be un-
rigged turret ships, propelled by twin screws.
They are to be much larger than tbe largest
ships in the British navy, and much faster, in

addition to which they will be much more
costly. The most powerful engines in Her Ma-

jesty’s fleet are those of the Inflexible and the
Dreadnought, working up to between 8000 and
9000 indicated horse-power. But this enormous
amount isto be, at least, doubled by the en
gives of the Italian ships. According to pres-
ent conclusions, the armor will be steel, prob-
ably a meter thick, or fully half as thick again
as the maximum armor ofthe Inflexible. What
guns these colossal ships are to carry is not yet
determined, but itis not unlikely that in ordnance
as well as in other respects the forthcoming ships
will surpass all predecessors.

The Little Favorite Apple Parer and

Slicer.

The accompanying illustration shows a new
apple paring and slicing machine, manufac-
tured by D. H. Whittemore, Worcester, Maas.
It has the improved style of slicing knife,
which slices the apple off the fork in proper
sized pieces ready for use. The paring and
slicing are performed at the seme time, the

parings being thrown on one side of the ma-
chine, and the slices on the other into a dish or
on the table as desired. To this improved
style of slicing has been added an improvement,
making it self-feeding. A catch connected
to the paring and slicing knife works on the
screw of the crank shaft, being thrown off
automatically when the apple is sliced. It
works fast andis simple. J. Clark Wilson &
Co., 81 Beekman street, are the New York
agents.

it.

Remarkable Automata.

Messrs. Maskelyne & Cooke, of London,
have invented and put in operstion a remark-
able automaton, which bids fair to rival the
reputation acquired by their celebrated Psycho,
the mystery of whose operation has not yet
been discovered. Mr. Maskelyne submits to
the examination of his audience a small stand
or table, having an oblong base or plinth of
wood, resting on five small knob feet, also of
solid wood, and a single wood pillar supports
the thin table top, which, on its upper surface,
is of silk stuffed like a cushion. This light
stand is then placed upon the stage, and is
isolated from the carpet on the floor by flat
squares of clear plate glass, first inspected by
the audience, and then, without possibility of
substitution, laid one under each foot of the
table. The automaton, “ Zoe,’’ the model of
a young lady in Greek costume, is fasbioned in
a sitting attitude, and if she could stand up
would be about 43¢ feet in stature. She is
carried around so that all may test by her
weight the fact that she is certainly a hollow
doll fitted with light mechanism, and cannot
possibly be an outside shell holding a dimini-
tive buman being within. She is then
placed sitting upon the stuffed top of
the little table with her back to the
audience ; au easel supported by a bracket from
the table top holds upright before her, and at
nearly arm’s length, a drawing board with a
sheet of paper about 21 inches long by 18 inches
broad, and a crayon is held between her wax
finger and thumb by means of a sliding peacil
arrangement, with a small weight which, when
the crayon is applied to the paper, maintains a
uniform pressure sufficient for distinct mark-
ing. Thus prepared, ‘* Zve”’ 1s ready for work.
In some mysterious manner ske imitates the
motions of an artist’s arm with facility, holds
her crayon in professional form, strikes a true
lime across her easel in a masterly manner,
promptly carries her hand from one point of
the drawing board to another, carefully, yet in-
stantaneously, raises her pencil from the paper
and transfers it to another spot, returns to add
touches and insert omissions, and finally lowers
herarm and hand when tbe sketch is com-
pleted. She does not execute merely the par-
ticular specimens of writing, figuring, and
drawing which she might be constructed and
set to do. She executes anything she has a mivd
to, or, in other words, she can write any letters
or numbers called for by the audience, and de-
signs, forms, and pictures impromtu, accord-
ing to the ability of the secret operator, who
must certainly govern ber movements. The
figure is absolutely detached and isolated;
hence the multifarious and complicated move-
ments it is capable of producing borders on the
marvelous.

**Zoe’’ bears no resewtlance whatever to the
celebrated androids cf Le Droz, the Swiss
mechanician ; of Maillardet, the French mech-
anician, or of Robert Houdin, the great con-
juror and subtle inventor. They were ingen-
ous pieces of clockwork, and nothing more.
Thas, M. Le Droz’s figure was the size of life.
It held in its bane a metallic style, and when
a spring was touched, so as to release a detent,
the figure immediately began to draw upona
card of Dutch vellum previously laid under its
hand. After the drawing was executed on the
first card the automaton rested, and, five other
cards being placed in succession, it delineated
upon the series of six cards that number of
different subjects. Two of them were like-
nesses of the king and queen, and one fea-
ture of merit consisted in the precision with
which the figure lifted up the peneil in
its transition from one point of the draw
ing to another without making the slightest
mistake. The writing and drawing automa-
ton invented by M. Maillardet was the figure
of a boy kneeling on one knee, and hold-

ing a pencilin his hand. The attendaut dip-
ped the pencil in ink and adjusted a small

sheet of drawing paper upon a brass tablet,
and upon pressing a spring the figure began to
write. When the line was finished the hand
returned to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. It
executed beautifully just four pieces of writ-

ing in French and English, and also three Jand-
scapes, the time occupied being about an hour,
Robert Houdin also constructed a drawing fig-
ure which was remarkable for its life-like imi-
tation of the motion of the arm and hand in
using a pencil, and for its faithful and exact
execution of minute details in sketching and
in writing. But in all these pieces of mechani-
cal apparatus the path traversed by the pencil
point was guided by tracers resting against the
peripheries of slowly revolving circular, or
rather shapeless wheels, or barrels on which
were made indentations and waving elevations
conformable to the lines of the picture to be
drawn on the card. The work in their case
was limited; ‘‘ Zoe,’ as has been stated, can do
anything within the ability of her secret opera-
tor.

Steam Heat for a Whole City.—The
Lockport Union describes the progress made
in the introduction of the new system as fol-
lows: The construction of Holly’s apparatus
for heating the city progresses satisfactorily
to the shareholders. The plan adopted is cal-

culated to heat all buildings within one-fourth
of a mile in all directions from the location of
the boiler. The saving wil be in coal and
stoves, and the great wear and tear from their
use. Mr. Holly thinks the cost will be no
more than one-half to two-thirds that under
the present syetem. His figures, which have
been published, are very plausible. The
boilers, which we will not attempt to describe,
are placed iu a new and substantial brick build-
ing, erected for the purpose, on Elm street.
The generating apparatus looks quite formi-
dable, and capable of producing leat sufficient
to keep all Lockport in a sweat. From this
fountain of heat the supply is forced through
pipes laid under ground to the buildings
which are to be warmed. The main pipe, con-
structed of iron, is in size about five inches in
diameter. Around the pipe is wound hair
cloth one half to three-quarters of an inch in
thickness, ard over this fs wrapped heavy
Manila paper. Thus repaired, the pipes are
laid in hollow logs, which are covered with
zinc. It seems impossible for any considerable
amount of heat to escape, and when the pipes
are once heated the waste cannot be very great.
At proper intervals are located stations or re-
ceiving boxes, the pipes extending and leaving
the station at opposite sides,.so that a foot or
so of intervening space — the expansion
and contraction of the pipes without injury to
the general works. From the stations the heat
is transmitted to buililings, and attached are
receptacles for drippings.

The United States Court recently decided that the Millers Falls Compgny has the exclusive right to make this style of Brace Jaws, and a higher court

long ago decided that they are the only jaws which will hold tools of any size or shape.
All of our Brace Jaws are now made of forged steel, and are nearly indestructible, which is true of no other brace.
We shal] make our goods perfect in every respect, and sell them at reasonable prices without trying to compete with inferior goods. We think in the en

Established

Registered March “1, i574.

We invite the particular attention of the
trade to our New Straight Bar Wrench, widened,
full seize of the larger part of the so called
‘* reinforced or jeg bar.’’ Also our enlarged jaw,
made with ribs on the inside, having a fall
bearing on the front of bar (see sectional view),
making the jaw fully equal to any strain the
bar may be subjected to.

These recent improvements in combination
with the nut inside the ferrule firmly screwed
up flush, against square, rolid bearings (that
cannot be foiced out of place by use), verifies
our claim that we are manufacturing the
strongest Wrench in the market.

We would also call attention to the fact,
that in 1869 we made several important im
provements «secured by patents), on the old
wreuch previously manufactured by L. & A.
G. Coes which were at once closely imitated
and sold as the Genuine Wrench by certain par-
ties who secm to rely upon ovr improvements
to keep up their reputation as manufacturers,
and although the factof their imitating our
goods may be gcod evidence that we manufac-
ture a enperior Wrench, we wish the trade may
not be deceived on the question of originality.
Trusting the trade will fally appreciate our
recent efiorts, both in mmprovements on the

we would caution them against imitations.

SRL
We call your attention 3! to our new patent end-
less wire frame comb. The result of a long series of ex-
periments, made with a view to meeting all the requ.re-

ments of a fect Comb. it is better, stronger, ard
more durable than any ever before invented.

The raised
wire shenk gives what has never before been attained,
viz: arest and brace for the thumb, in such a position
that the hana cannot come in contact with the horse
while using the comb. The wire braces which run from
the shank over the back to the front teeth give strength
and durability in a direction never heretofore attained
and at the same time serve as an extra handle; and
when clasped by the fingers in connection with the raised
shank the comb is more firmly, easily, and completely
held, and with much less tatigue to the hand than fe
possible in any other formation—in short, it needs but a
trial to vindicate its name: The Perfect Comb.

The Original Makers of the Mrs. Potts’ Cold Handle Sad Iron.

To the Trade: We call attention to the great IMPROVEMENT recently
perfected by us in

The Mrs. Potts’ Cold-Handle Sad Iron.

To avoid tne various objections made to the so-
called ** non-conducting filling” —which, it is com
plained, causes the iron to be longer in heating,
works over on the goods when in use, and takes up
moisture and produces rust when not in use—we em-
ploy an air chamber below the handle. This air
chamber prevents the heat ofthe iron, in great meas-
ure, from working up to the handie, and aleo poops
the cold exterior air from striking the interior of the
iron and cooling the latter too rapidly. With this
new improvement, of which we have exclusive con-
trol, we are able to offer to the trade an absolute-
ly perfect Sad Iron—one which will heat rapid-
ly, Fat cool aomy. which contains no material to
injare fabrics, which takes up no moisture wken rot
1n use, and which, when using, conveys no uncomfort
able heat to the handle or hand of the ironer. This is
the best and cheapest Mrs. Potts’ Patent Cold Handle
Sad Iron in the market. Send for Price Current.

MANUFACTURERS OF

FLETCHER POST HOLE AUGER.

The best, the cheapest, the most durable, and the bandiest Earth Auger in market.
Made from ‘the best cast steel ; will bore three holes while any other auger is boring
one, avd is run with less power ; works readily in clay, sand, gravel, or muck soil,
and will cut sharply through grass or root sods without the use of shovel or spade to t
start it.

The ordinary flat bottom post augers in use are easily broken, bent and disabled
while the blades split and crack with strcng pressure. The “ Fletcher’? Auger will
stand any force applied to it, while its pecuifar construction enables it to cut by the
point and over lapping blades, in such a manner as to push itself speedily and

smoothly into the ground. Obstructions, such as old filling of tin seraps, sticka,
boxes, and miscellaneous articles, in made soil, and roots, grubbings, etc., in new
land, are cut by the Fletcher, where other styles of post augers are broken and bent.

This auger costs a few shillings more than others, but the purchaser will nevertbe-
less, find it the cheapest in the end.

There is no suction when this auger is drawn from the hole ; it brings all the dirt
out, when filled is easily lifted out and emptied. Strongly made, simple and handy
to use, self-sharpening, by its peculiar manner of cutting. Always ready for use.

This auger is now ready for the market, and we offer to the trade a liberal discount

»| HARPER'S LUBRIGATOR

For Steam Engines,

This invention is an improvement upon that class of Steam Lubri
cators in which the lubricating material is floated (not by hydrostatic
pressure) from the reservoir by the condensation of steam passing into
the reservoir, and 1s susceptible of being applied to all kinds and
styles of Steam Engines, by introducing the Lubricant to the steam
ere it has created friction, so that it carries its own friction antidote
to the valve, piston and rods, reducing friction, thereby saving oil,
coal and pack _%

The glass t connected to the reservoir indicates the quantity 07
oil in the reservoir; the upper glass tube conveys to the eye the intel
ligence of the quantity of oil escaping. We might claim great econo
my of oil; that we leave with the engineer. We have made ample pro-
virion for large quantities, but at the same time it can be so regulated
as to be used in small doses.

This invention is in peaotionl operation, and is highly indorsed by
all those that are now using

Information concerning the LUBRICATOR may be obtained from

The Harper Steam Lubricator Co..

Du Plaine & Co.’s Anti-Friction Metals

SHOULD BE USED.

First.—Because they approach more nearly to what is required of a perfect Anti-Friction Metal.

Second.—Because they have been tested thoroughly by the best mechanics and this fact establ'shed,

Third.—Because they are made of refined and new metals, and not prodaced from drosses resmelted .

Fourth.—Because, being porous in their nature, they hold the oil necessary for proper lubrication.

Fifth.—Because they are hard enough to insure a polished surface to the moving parts, and not de-
stroy or heat the journal,

Sixth —Because they are free flowing, and if properly melted contain no dross,

Seventh.—Because by reducing the friction they increase the useful effects.

Highth.—Because they are cheap and economical, reducing the expenditure of ofl, coal, time, labor and
wear of machinery.

Ninth..—Because the best mechanics use them.

Tenth.—Because, from long and extended experience as engineers and metallurgists, we try to produce
the besé metals that will give the best practical results, and we believe we have succeeded.

Eleventh.—Because we warrant our metals.

Twelfth.—Because we are open for competition from any respectable manufacturer of Anti-Friction
Metals who can produce a better metal, a more reliable wetal, and a cheaper metal than we make, and in-

vite the test anywhere,
